He submits that the applications are maintainable as this Court exercises concurrent jurisdiction in matters of grant of anticipatory bail. 3. It is not necessary to decide any larger controversy as, in my view, in the peculiar facts of this case, it would be appropriate to dispose of these applications by granting liberty to the applicants to approach Sessions Court for anticipatory bail. To enable the applicants to do so, it is directed that each of these applicants shall not be arrested for a period of ten working days from today.
