4. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioners confined his argument to the extent that the presence of petitioners/A2 and A3 may be dispensed with.

the case, the presence of petitioners/A2 and A3 before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates whenever their presence is insisted by the trial Court and they shall be represented by their counsel.
