CORAM: A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. DECEMBER 8, 2004. DECEMBER 8, 2004. DECEMBER 8, 2004. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard Counsel for the parties. 2. It is not in dispute that since August 2004, the Applicants have been granted interim protection. It appears that now the investigation has been transferred to State C.I.D. at the instance of the complainant. Assuming that to be so, to my mind, the appropriate course, is to dispose of this Application by giving limited : 2 : protection to the Applicants by requiring the investigating agency to give 72 hours advance notice to the Applicants, in the event, they intend to arrest the Applicants in connection with the alleged offence. Ordered accordingly. A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.
