Their engagement may be regularised in due course by the competent authority of the State. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits as follows.

learned trial court at the earliest.

I direct that the warrant of arrest issued against the petitioner shall remain stayed for a period of four weeks from this date. Let the petitioner surrender before the learned trial court within four weeks from this date. In the event the petitioner surrenders before the learned trial court within such time and prays for bail, his application for bail shall be considered in accordance with law.

With these observations, the revisional application is disposed of Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for. (Jay Sengupta, J.)
