Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

There are materials in the case diary implicating the petitioners in obtaining money on the promise of grant of government job.

Requirement of custodial interrogation of the petitioners cannot be overlooked.

In such circumstances, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.

C.R.M. (A) 722 of 2023 is dismissed.
