Nooriabad, for offence under Sections 406, 420, PPC. Learned counsel for applicant was directed to satisfy the Court on the point of maintainability of instant application. Learned counsel for applicant after arguing the matter at some length requests that this criminal miscellaneous application may be converted into protective bail in order to enable the applicant to appear before learned concerned Court. He seeks further direction for early disposal of the case. Mr. Sharafuddin Kanhar, learned A.P.G. present in Court in some other cases, waives notice and has recorded no objection on the requests made by learned counsel for applicant.
