Case No.209 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C.

// 2 // Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

In view of the nature of accusation against the petitioners and the manner in which attack has been made to a public servant on duty, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, it is observed that in the event the petitioners surrender and move for bail in the Court below within a period of four weeks, the same shall be disposed of by the learned Courts below in accordance with law expeditiously and the claim of parity with the coaccused stated to have been released on bail shall be taken into account.
