            Along with urgent application, application for return of surety as well as application for correction of name of applicant/accused Zubair Shah son of Haroon Shah are moved. It appears that protective bail was granted to applicant Zubair Shah son of Shahmir Shah by this Court vide order dated 03.06.2019, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.100,000/- and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. As per endorsement of Nazir, one Manzoor Ali son of Haji Mehroo Khan furnished surety for applicant by way of depositing solvency certificate dated 30.05.2019, in respect of Agricultural Land, Deh Kapori Survey No.74/4 and others (18-34) acres.

 

            Counsel for applicant/surety submits that the applicant surrendered before the trial Court, faced trial and was acquitted of the charge vide judgment dated 21.02.2020. Certified copy of judgment dated 21.02.2020 is placed on record. Learned D.P.G. present in Court in some other cases waives notice and after having gone through the case file and aforesaid judgment of the trial Court has recorded no objection for return of surety. He has also recoded his no objection for grant of application for correction of name of applicant/accused (CMA No.17863/2024) as in the operative part of order dated 03.06.2019 name of applicant has wrongly been typed as Taj Muhammad son of Loung Khan instead of Zubair Shah son of Shahmir Shah.

 

            In the view of above, surety is no more required. Applications for return of surety and application for correction of name of applicant/accused Zubair Shah son of Haroon Shah are allowed. Office is directed to return the surety to the applicant/surety upon proper verification and identification, as per rules.
