Learned counsel for the applicants mainly contended that, since there are counter cases between the same parties, and since applicants have joined the trial and are regularly attending the trial Court; no purpose would be served if the applicants are refused bail and put behind bars and that the complainant has no objection for confirmation of interim pre-arrest bail to the applicants, therefore, the interim pre-arrest bail of the applicants may be confirmed.

          Learned Advocate for complainant affirms contention of learned counsel for the applicants and extends no objection to confirmation of pre-arrest bail in favor of the applicants.

          On other hand, learned Deputy Prosecutor General appearing for the State does not controvert the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicants and concedes for confirmation of interim bail in view of no objection extended by learned Advocate for complainant.

          Accordingly, in view of no objection extended by the learned Advocate for complainant as well as learned D.P.G. appearing for the State; instant bail application stands allowed.  Consequently, interim pre-arrest bail already granted to applicants vide Order dated 05.04.2021, is hereby confirmed on same terms and conditions.
