“They were conceding arrest. It was pointed out by the counsel for the accused that they were to surrender before the court, in pursuance of the CJM's warrant or order.  

“The said submission cannot be separated on the face as there are specific allegations against the accused persons and further the CJM has issued warrants against them. The investigating officer has also submitted that they have already arranged the mode of exit (for transportation to Gujarat) of the accused to the concerned court.  “The counsel's arguments are not convincing. However, this court is confining itself to the transit remand,” the judge said.

During the hearing in the jam packed courtroom, the Gujarat Police sought 24 hours of transit remand of the three accused—Narayan Sai and his aides Ramesh Malhotra and Kaushal Thakur—to produce them before the concerned court in Surat.

The Gujarat Police told the court that due to law and order problem, they cannot reveal as to how they will take the accused to Gujarat in 24 hours.
