It is submitted that present applicant is ready and willing to appear before the court below to cooperate in the trial. He has never intended to ignore the court proceedings. As such, some protection may be granted. 4. Learned A.G.A. has no objection in case protection is granted to the present applicant to enable him to appear before the court below to participate in the court proceedings. 5. In this conspectus, as above, no useful purpose would be served to keep this matter pending, therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to finally dispose of the present application, without making any observation on the merits of the case as mentioned in the present application, with a direction that in case present applicant appears/surrenders and move bail application before the court below within a period of three weeks from today, same shall be considered and decided in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of three weeks thereafter. 6. For a period of six weeks or till the decision on the bail application, whichever is earlier, no coercive action shall be taken against the present applicant in aforesaid criminal case. 7.
