Applicant/accused is directed to surrender before the trial Court in the aforesaid crime. This order shall cease to have its effect after expiry of four days from today or when the applicant/accused surrenders before the trial Court, which one occurs earlier. It is made clear that in case applicant/accused failed to surrender before the trial Court within the aforesaid period his bail bond shall stand forfeited.   

 

            Application is accordingly disposed of.
