In view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition for anticipatory bail is accepted and order Criminal Misc.No. M- 39046 of 2007 -2- dated 16.7.2007, granting interim bail to the petitioners Rajinder Nath Verma, Yadwinder Nath Verma, Krishan Kumar and Amandeep Singh, is, hereby confirmed subject to the compliance of conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
