The Supreme Court (SC) today (May 23) ordered two former directors of International Leasing and Financial Service Basudeb Banerjee and his wife Papia Banerjee, alleged associates of Prasanta Kumar Halder alias PK Halder, to surrender before a trial court within June 4.
 
SC bench headed by Justice M Enayetur Rahim passed the order.
 
A High Court division bench on May 9 granted them six-week anticipatory bail, making the ACC to appeal against the order with the Appellate Division.
 
The Appellate Division chamber judge court on May 13 stayed the High Court bail order and asked the two accused to surrender before trial court within two weeks. The defence however, pleaded for adjusting and subsequently withdrawing the chamber court order.
