. . . .

      The applicant who is present in custody again submits that his case not proceeding and he has been falsely implicated. He further states that he was granted bail by the Court of IVth Additional Sessions Judge Dadu subject to furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/-, however, since he being a pauper could not arrange for such amount and is suffering agony while remaining behind the bar for the last one year.

      The learned D.P.G. states that as per his information the applicant was granted bail. The trial Court was lying vacant and now the Presiding Officer is available there and the case of the applicant is fixed for evidence on 5.6.2010. The learned DPG further states that this matter may be disposed of by issuing direction to the trial Court to proceed with the matter expeditiously and further to consider the request of the applicant for reduction of the surety amount if pending before it.

      The applicant is agreeable to such submission made by the learned DPG and also states that he being a poor person is not in a position to engage a counsel, therefore, the trial Court may be directed to provide him a counsel on State expenses. 

      I have heard the applicant in person as well as the learned DPG. In view of the statement of the applicant and the verification by the learned DPG this matter is being disposed of with the directions to the learned trial Court to proceed with the case of the applicant as expeditiously as possible pursuant to the National Judicial Policy 2009. The trial Court is further directed to consider the request of the applicant for reduction of the surety amount or may release him on furnishing personal bond if permissible under the law. The trial Court shall also provide an advocate to the applicant on State Exchequer.

      The instant criminal bail application stands disposed of in the above terms.
