The advocate for the accused claimed that his clients were not given any notice under section 41 of the CrPC. He said that as the voice recording of the accused had been sent to the forensic lab there was no real evidence against them. Hence he requested the court for a bail. The court ordered the accused to be released on conditional bail after listening to the arguments on both sides.
A case was registered in the Vidhana Soudha police station on February 27 accusing the three of chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans during the victory celebrations of the Congress candidate Naseer Hussain in RS polls. The police had taken the accused into custody once an FIR was registered.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
