I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the case file.

6.

In view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order dated 22.04.2026 passed by ld. Addl. Sessions Judge, Bathinda. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within a period of 07 days and moves an application for grant of regular bail, the trial Court is directed to consider and decide the same within a period of three days.

7.

With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) 21.05.2026 JUDGE renu Whether speaking/ reasoned :
