Accordingly, it is directed that if applicants appear before the trial court within three weeks from today and move bail application then their bail application shall be decided by the court below on the basis of law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Satender Kumar Antil (supras).

With these direction/observation, the present application is, accordingly, disposed of.
