Mr. Y. J. Dastoor, Ld. ASG Mr. Phiroze Edulji Mr. Samrat Goswami ...for the CBI.

Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were falsely implicated.

Learned Additional Solicitor General draws the attention of the Court to the contents in the case diary. He submits that the petitioners are absconding. There are warrant of arrest issued against the petitioners. Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the long absconsion of the petitioners, we are unable to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.

C.R.M. 5651 of 2021 is, thus, dismissed.
