ORDER
19.08.2026
02. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioners and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioners are seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.351 of 2026 pending on the file of learned JMFC, Umerkote arising out of Umerkote P.S. Case No.213 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Sections 332(c), 74, 296, 109 and 3(5) of BNS.
3. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.
4. Taking into account the submission of the learned counsel for the state that there is no material to substantiate the allegations under Section 109 of
BNS and that the Petitioners do not have any criminal antecedents, this Court directs that on surrendering within three weeks hence and moving for bail, the Petitioners shall be released on bail by the learned Court in seisin on such terms as deemed just and proper subject to verification of criminal antecedent of similar nature.
If it comes to the fore that the Petitioners have any such criminal antecedent, this order shall not be given effect to.
5. It is needless to state that the Petitioners shall cooperate with the ongoing investigation.
6. Accordingly, the ABLAPL stands disposed of.
(V. NARASINGH)
