[2026:RJ-JD:20083] (4 of 4) [CRLMP-1498/2026]

required to appear before the learned Trial Court at the time of

filing of the charge-sheet.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that they do not

want to press the present petitions and are ready to appear before

the learned trial Court for filing of the charge-sheet however, they

may not be put in judicial custody and be released on furnishing

their bail bonds and surety bonds.

This Court finds that since the investigation from the

petitioners is complete, their custodial interrogation is no more

required by the investigating agency and there is no need of

putting the petitioners behind the bars.

Accordingly, the present criminal misc. petitions are disposed

of with the direction to the petitioners that they shall appear

before the learned trial Court on the date informed by the

investigating agency and submit their bail bonds and surety bonds

to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Learned trial Court shall

accept the bail bonds and surety bonds of the petitioners for

securing their presence during trial. The petitioners shall be bound

by all the conditions laid down by the learned trial Court.

However, if the petitioners do not appear, the learned trial

Court may proceed further in accordance with law and take

coercive steps.

All pending application(s), if any, also stand disposed of.
