Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral)

After arguing for some time, counsel for the petitioner

contends that he may be allowed to withdraw the present petition in

order to raise all arguments available to him before the trial Court at

appropriate stage. Counsel for the petitioner further submits that since

the cheque on basis of which complaint was instituted was drawn in the

year 1999, his personal appearance before the trial Court maybe

exempted.

The petitioner is in corridors of the Court for the last more

than nine years. Therefore, it will be just and appropriate in case his

personal appearance is exempted before the trial Court. He shall also

furnish an undertaking that he shall cause appearance as and when
Criminal Misc. No.8832-M of 2001 2

required and the evidence recorded in his absence but in the presence

of his counsel shall be binding upon him. Trial Court may also specify

any other condition in the undertaking to be furnished by the petitioner.

On the furnishing of undertaking, the personal appearance of petitioner

shall stand exempted.

The present petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as

prayed for.
