In view of the above, it is directed that appellants may surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks from today. In case, appellants surrender and file an application for bail, the concerned Court will pass an order in the similar manner as has been decided in the case of Mahendra Prasad Singh (Supra).

With the above directions/observations, this application is disposed of.
