RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL)
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the bail bonds
of the petitioner were cancelled as he could not appear before the trial court
inadvertently. According to the counsel, the petitioner had noted a wrong
date of hearing and his absence before the trial court was totally
unintentional.
Learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner may be
allowed to appear before the trial court, the same may be subject to heavy
surety.
Under the circumstances, it is directed that in case the
petitioner surrenders before the trial court on or before the next date of
hearing, he shall be admitted to bail by the said court. This, however, will
be subject to heavy surety as well as an undertaking that he shall not default
in appearance on any date in future during the pendency of the trial failing
which bail bonds furnished by him shall stand forfeited.
Allowed in aforesaid terms.
