Along with urgent application, application for return of surety has been moved by the applicant/surety. It appears that applicant/accused Muhammad Adnan Khan was admitted to interim pre-arrest bail by this Court vide order dated 10.11.2025, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- each and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Nazir of this Court. As per Nazir’s endorsement one Fayyaz son of Niaz Ahmed furnished surety by way of depositing cash amount of Rs.50,000/-.

Learned counsel for applicant/surety submits that on account of absence of applicant/accused interim bail granted to him was recalled vide order dated 31.12.2026. Thereafter, the applicant filed fresh Criminal Bail Application No.37 of 2026 and vide order dated 07.01.2026 he was admitted to interim pre-arrest bail, subject to furnishing solvent surety in the sumo of Rs.30,000/-, in compliance whereof fresh surety was furnished before the Nazir of this Court, hence the surety furnished in the instant criminal bail application is no more required. Copy of order dated 07.01.2026 passed in Cr. B. A. No.37 of 2026 has been placed on record. Learned A.P.G. after having gone through the case file has recorded no objection for return of surety to the applicant/surety in the instant case.

Since the interim bail granted to applicant/accused was recalled vide order dated 31.12.2026. However, inadvertently the matter was adjourned but it is settled position of law that once interim pre-arrest granted is recalled then automatically pre-arrest bail application is treated as dismissed.

In view of above, surety furnished by the applicant/surety is no more required. Application for return of surety is allowed. Office is directed to return the surety to the applicant/surety upon proper verification and identification, as per rules.
