Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Nirmaljit Kaur, J. (Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioner restricts his prayer only to the extent that the petitioner may be granted liberty to surrender before the Appellate Court. It is contended that all other co-accused of the petitioner were released on probation, whereas, the appeal filed by the petitioner was dismissed for want of prosecution. Meanwhile, even the matter too has been compromised. In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of with direction that, in case, the petitioner is surrendered before the Appellate Court within one month from today, he shall be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds to its satisfaction. However, the said order shall remain operative only up till the time, he files an appropriate petition, challenging the order dated 16.01.2003 (P-8) or the order of his conviction.
