CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AMAN CHAUDHARY Present :

Mr. Rajneesh Budhiraja, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Himani Arora, AAG, Punjab.

***** AMAN CHAUDHARY. J.

1.

The present petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case FIR No.55, dated 12.07.2020, registered under Sections 21, 61, 85 NDPS Act, 1985 and Sections 25, 54, 59 of Arms Act, 1959, at Police Station City Kurali, District SAS Nagar. 2.

Learned counsel contends that the petitioners had been granted regular bail by the trial Court. The petitioners continued to appear regularly except on 27.07.2023, which was on account of the fact that they had mistakenly noted wrong date i.e. 28.07.2023 instead of 27.07.2023, leading to issuance of non-bailable warrants. He further submits that the petitioners are ready to surrender before the trial Court and prays that their bail applications be directed to be decided within a time bound manner.

3.

In view of the prayer made, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, present petition is disposed of with a direction to the learned trial Court that in case the petitioner surrenders on or before 11.09.2023 and files an application for grant of bail, the same be decided on the same day in accordance with law.
