It appears that the applicant, during the course of his pending 2 application for anticipatory bail, applied before the Additional Sessions Judge, for interim anticipatory bail. That application is rejected on 5th December 2006. The main matter is placed on 12th December 2006. In the peculiar facts of this case, he ought to have protected the applicants till the decision on their application for anticipatory bail. Since the main application is pending, interest of justice would be sub-served by directing that the applicant shall not be arrested till the hearing and final disposal of the anticipatory bail application, pending before the trial court. However, this order is passed without expressing any opinion on the merits and all contentions in that behalf are expressly kept open. Application disposed of. (S.C.Dharmadhikari, J)
