Heard Mr. Naik, the learned Counsel for the applicants.

The applicants were before this Court seeking protection in the nature of pre-arrest bail apprehending their arrest in connection with Crime No.397/2014, registered at Police Station Pratapnagar, Nagpur for the offences punishable under Sections 376, 323, 506 of the Indian Penal Code read with Section 3(1)(xii) of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. The learned Counsel for the applicants placed on record the copy of order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Criminal Application (APL) No.594/2014. By inviting my attention to the order passed by the learned Division Bench of this Court, the learned Counsel for the

aba.519.14 2/2 applicants submits that though Criminal Application No.594/2014 was allowed to be withdrawn with liberty to the applicants to file appropriate application before the Trial Court, the applicants are protected by the Division Bench with an order that in the event of arrest, the applicants shall be released on their furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one surety each in the like amount. The Division Bench further observed that after filing of the chargesheet, the applicants shall be entitled to apply for regular bail before the Trial Court and shall continue to be on bail till the decision of bail application by the Trial Court and seven days thereafter.

In view of the order passed by the Division Bench, the present application renders infructuous. No orders are required to be passed on this application on the backdrop of the order passed by the Division Bench in Criminal Application No.594/2014.

Hence, the application is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE *sdw
