                             ORDER

The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the

application. She submits that the Investigating Officer

desires to file a report.

2. On a consideration of the facts and the materials

placed on record, and particularly after going through

Annexure 2 judgment passed by this Court and Annexures

3 to 5 treatment certificates of the petitioners, I am

satisfied that the petitioners have made out a prima facie

case for an interim order. Hence, I direct the Investigating

Officer in Crime No. 903/2024 of the Pandalam Police

Station, Pathanamthitta, not to arrest the petitioners till

26.09.2024.

Post on 26.09.2024.
