Before Judges MATTHEWS, MORGAN and MORTON I. GREENBERG.


The opinion of the court was delivered by MATTHEWS, P.J.A.D.

At issue on these consolidated appeals is the question, novel to this State, as to whether subpoenas duces tecum returnable before a grand jury need prior authorization by that body. In the cases before us, the attorney general issued the subpoenas without specific and prior grand jury authorization. The subpoenas and the documents produced pursuant thereto were accordingly ordered suppressed.
