It was stated by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that the petitioner would surrender before the trial Court on or before 18.12.2009 and would move an application for grant of regular bail, which may be considered and decided expeditiously in the light of the facts and the documents, in respect of which forgery is alleged to have been committed by the petitioner, are available on the record. Accordingly, the petition was dismissed as not pressed with liberty as aforesaid. The petitioner admittedly has not surrendered before the learned trial Court till date. It is, however, submitted that co- CRM No.M-32314 of 2010 [2] accused of the petitioner namely Hardev Singh has been granted interim bail by this Court. In the said order, the interim bail has been granted and the case was listed for hearing on 15.12.2009.
