Learned counsel for the petitioners submit that petitioners have put in appearance before the trial Court and have been released on interim bail under the orders of this Court.

Learned State counsel submits that petitioner Vaid Nachhattar Singh was though named in the FIR but during investigation, he was found innocent. Remaining petitioners were not named in the FIR, wherein some unidentified persons were referred as assailants, whose identity could not be traced during investigation. Trial Court on the statement of complainant and other witnesses, have summoned the petitioners to face trial as additional accused.

Keeping in view the fact that petitioners have appeared before the trial Court and that the conclusion of trial will take considerable long time, both the aforementioned petitions are allowed. Order dated 09.03.2017 passed in CRM-M-5632-2017 and order dated 11.05.2017 passed in CRM-M-15374-2017 are made absolute subject to the condition that petitioners shall appear before the trial Court on each and every date of hearing. In the event of their non-appearance on any date, the trial Court will be competent to cancel their bails and forfeit the bail bonds and surety bonds and to take the petitioners in custody.
