4. I have considered the submission advanced by the learned counsel for the applicants as well as the learned AGA, representing respondent-State.

6. The Supreme Court in Aman Preet Singh Vs. C.B.I. Through Director (supra) has inter alia held that if a person, who is an accused in a non-bailable/cognizable offence, was not taken into custody during the period of investigation, in such a case, it is appropriate that he may be released on bail as the circumstances of his having not been arrested during investigation or not being produced in custody is itself sufficient to entitle him to be released on bail.

7. In view of submissions advanced on behalf of the applicants, this application is disposed of with a direction to the applicants to surrender before the trial Court within a period of seven days from today and apply for regular bail and, if the applicants do so, their bail application shall be considered in light of the judgment passed by the Supreme Court in Aman Preet Singh Vs.
