The matter is listed today under the caption for being mentioned. 2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petition filed in Crl.O.P.No.7958 of 2020 dated 28.05.2020 is a bail petition and this Court had directed the petitioner to deposit a sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) to the Cancer Institute (WIA) (Regional Cancer Centre), Adyar, Chennai 600 020 and on such deposit the petitioner was directed to be released on his own bond. Thereafter, the petitioner was directed to furnish two sureties within a period of two weeks before the concerned Court. Since the Courts were not functioning during the PANDEMIC period, the petitioner was unable to furnish sureties and comply with the conditions imposed by this Court in Crl.O.P.No.7958 of 2020 dated 28.05.2020.
