2. A specific question was put to counsel for applicants as to whether the provision of Section 219 of Cr.P.C. would apply or not, however, it is submitted by counsel for applicants that in fact application was filed under Section 408 of Cr.P.C.

5. Accordingly, revision fails and is hereby dismissed."
4. Accordingly, this Revision is also dismissed in the terms and conditions of the order passed in the case of Sunil Mandwani (supra).
