120B read with Sections 468 and 471 of the IPC and Section 13(2) read with Section 13 (1) (d) (ii) of the PC Act, under Section 108 read with Section 13 (1) (d) (ii) of the PC Act, and substantive offences under Section 471 of the IPC and 13 (1) (d) (ii) of the PC Act. I am informed that the trial is now at the stage of arguments on charge.

Having heard preliminary submissions of the learned counsel for the petitioner, I find that the submissions made should be better addressed before the learned Trial Court at the stage of considering the question of framing of charges. 4.

Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of reserving liberty to the petitioner to file afresh in case any adverse order is passed against the petitioner by the learned Trial Court at that stage. 5.

Subject to the orders passed by the learned Trial Court seeking personal appearance of the accused, the petitioner may appear virtually through counsel before the learned Trial Court. 6.

The pending applications also stand disposed of.
