"In the result, the accused is found not guilty for the charges under Sec. 3(1)(x) of S.Cs. & S.Ts. (PoA) Act, 1989 and Sec. 506 I.P.C. and he is acquitted of the said charges under Sec. 235(1) Cr.P.C. The bail bonds of the accused shall stand cancelled after expiry of six months. The unmarked non -valuable property, if any shall be destroyed after expiry of appeal time."
(2.) It is the grievance of the petitioner that normally bail bonds to be cancelled only after expiry of appeal time.
(3.) Admittedly, no appeal is preferred by the State in this case.

If the appeal period is over by this time, the trial Court is directed to return the documents filed by the petitioner herein.;
