% 25.04.2017 The status report and the nominal roll have been filed today. Let the aforesaid two documents be kept on record.

The nominal roll itself discloses that the petitioner jumped interim bail from 20.08.1999 to 01.02.2007 and was re-arrested after more than seven years. The petitioner has been continuously in custody ever since his re-arrest.
