ORDER
We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at very great length.
We are not inclined to entertain these matters in exercise of our jurisdiction under Article 136 of the Constitution of India. We, however, reiterate the directions of the High Court that the observations made in its judgment shall be confined only for the purpose of inquiry under Section 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and shall not bind the trial court in the trial that may proceed against the appellants.
The appeals are dismissed in the above terms.
