The challenge in these applications invoking section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 is to the show cause notices issued to the applicants under Chapter VIII of the Code. I have perused the show cause notices and the record of the cases. 2. It is well-settled that power under section 482 of the said Code has to be exercised sparingly and in very rare cases. 3. The applicants have filed reply to the show cause notices. The applicants are free to raise all contentions which are raised in these applications before the concerned authority. The said authority is bound to consider the said contentions. 4. Hence subject to what is stated above, the applications are not entertained and the same are disposed of. If any adverse order is passed against the applicants, the same shall not be implemented for a period of two weeks from the date on which the said order is communicated to the applicants. 5. All contentions on merits are expressly kept open. [ A.S.OKA, J.] A.S.OKA, J.] A.S.OKA, J.] A
