By this application, the Applicant is seeking temporary bail for attending examination scheduled from 27/04/2026 to 13/05/2026. 3.

He submits that applicant is unable to pay the escort charges and requested the application be allowed and applicant be released on temporary bail. 4.

Learned APP opposed this application for granting temporary bail to the Applicant on the ground that applicant and co-accused brutely
