If 48 hours advance notice is given to the public prosecutor before moving the proposed bail application, the concerned Court may decide the bail application preferably on the same day on its own merits in accordance with law including without being influenced by the order rejecting anticipatory bail application passed by the Sessions Court/High Court, as the case may be. In view of the above, pending application shall stand disposed of. (ANITA MALHOTRA) (VIDYA NEGI) COURT MASTER COURT MASTER 2
