            Learned A.P.G,  after perusal of the record and in view of the aforesaid decision of Honourable Supreme Court,  does not oppose  such  contentions however, submits that instead of setting aside the impugned order it may be modified  only to the extent  that N.B.Ws  issued against  the applicant may be treated as bailable warrants for another 15 days to enable the applicant  to surrender before the trial Court and furnish bond whereafter, the applicant may be dealtwith in accordance with law.

             In view of hereinabove  legal position as settled by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Shah Murad (supra) instant criminal miscellaneous application is allowed in the terms that .  Impugned order   is modified  to the extent   that N.B.Ws issued  against the applicant may be treated as bailable warrants for another 15 days to enable the applicant to surrender  before trial Court    to execute bond for his appearance before the Court during the pendency of the trial.

            The criminal miscellaneous application  stands disposed of in the above terms.
