Mr. Gazi Mohammad, DAG Punjab at the asking of the Court, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State. Learned counsel for the petitioners undertakes to supply two copies of the petition to the learned DAG during the course of the day. Adjourned to 16.02.2011. Criminal Misc. No. M-1277 of 2011 Learned counsel for the petitioners asserts that originally the petitioners were found innocent and kept in column No.2 but have now been summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C. and for the 5 injuries suffered by the complainants other five persons are already facing trial. In the meantime, in case the petitioners appear before the learned trial Court they may be provisionally admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court.” Counsel for the petitioners has submitted that in pursuance of the order passed by a Coordinate Bench of this Court on January 20, 2011, the petitioners have caused appearance before the trial Court and have been released on interim bail. This fact is not controverted by counsel for the State. In view of the statements made by Counsel for the parties, order dated January 20, 2011 passed by a Coordinate Bench, whereby provisional bail was granted to the petitioners, is hereby affirmed and the present petition stands disposed of accordingly.
