¶1Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the record.

¶2In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that the applicant has given two sureties in Case Crime No.759 of 2023. Subsequently, on being questioning, all the accused persons including the applicant, all the accused run away, as such a view was formed that the sureties were forged.

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
