Let accused Kewat Singh is ordered to be summoned through NBW of arrest and notice to surety, identifier be issued for 4.7.11.” The petitioner then filed anticipatory bail before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ferozepur which has been declined by him by passing the following order:- - 1 – ::::::::: CRM-M-25088-2011 (O&M) “However, the applicant/accused shall be at liberty to surrender before the learned Trial Court and to move the bail application and in that event, the learned Trial Court is directed to dispose of the said bail application within two days by considering all the record and documents placed by the applicant.” Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that instead of two days, in case of surrender by the petitioner, his bail application, if so filed, may kindly be ordered to be decided by the learned Trial Court on the same day in accordance with law.
