                               Central Bureau of Investigation

                            (G.S. Singhvi and B.S. Chauhan JJ.)

                                           20.06.2011

                                             ORDER

1. These petitions are directed against order dated 08.06.2011 passed by the
learned Single Judge of the Delhi High Court whereby he rejected the petitions
filed by the Petitioners under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

2. We have heard learned Counsel for the parties at length and perused the record
of the case. In our view, the reasons assigned by the learned Special Judge and the
learned Single Judge of the High Court for refusing to entertain the Petitioners'
prayer for bail do not suffer from any legal infirmity.

3. The special leave petitions are accordingly dismissed.

4. However, liberty is given to the Petitioners to file fresh applications under
Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure before the Special Court after
framing of the charges. In her application, Petitioner No. 2 shall be entitled to
again invoke the provisions of Section 437 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

5. The fresh applications filed by the Petitioners shall be decided by the Special
Court without being influenced by the rejection of the earlier applications.
