            Without touching the merits of the case, protective bail for a period of three days from today is granted to applicants/accused Sajjid Abdul Qadir son of Abdul Qadir, Irfan son of Abdul Aziz and Muhammad Shahid son of Muhammad Yousuf, subject to their furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.60,000/- each and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. Applicants/accused are directed to surrender before the trial Court in the aforesaid crime. They are also directed to attend the calls of the IO, if any. This order shall cease to have its effect after expiry of three days from today or when the applicants/accused surrender before the trial Court which one occurs earlier. Operation of NBWs issued against applicants/accused is suspended till three days. It is made clear that in case applicants/accused failed to surrender before the trial Court within the aforesaid period their bail bonds shall stand forfeited.  

 

            Application is accordingly disposed of.
