Heard.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners have surrendered before the trial Court and have been allowed interim bail under order dated 21.09.2017.

Learned State counsel also endorses the submission of learned counsel for the petitioners to this effect.

During investigation, petitioners Surjit Singh, Labh Singh and Gurmail Singh were found innocent and their names were kept in column No. 2. The trial Court after recording the statement of complainant Lajja Ram as PW 1, has summoned the petitioners by allowing the application of prosecution under Section 319 Cr.P.C..

Keeping in view the above facts and that the custodial interrogation of petitioners in no more required, both the petitions are allowed. Order dated 21.09.2017 passed in both the petitions is made absolute subject to the condition that petitioners shall apply for regular bail (if not applied and allowed so far) before the trial Court and will keep on appearing on each and every date of hearing. In the event of their nonappearance on any date without permission, the trial Court will be competent to cancel their bail and forfeit the bail bonds and surety bonds and proceed against them in accordance with law.
