The petitioner had been regularly appearing before the Trial Court but on account of his absence before the Trial Court on 6.2.2020, his bail was cancelled. The petitioner later on surrendered before the Trial Court on 6.3.2020 and has been in custody ever since.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that it was on account of a wrong impression regarding date that the petitioner did not appear before the Trial Court on 6.2.2020 resulting in cancellation of his bail and that he himself surrendered on 6.3.2020. It has further been submitted that the petitioner has otherwise been regularly appearing before the Trial Cout. 7.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the petitioner, after cancellation of his bail, had surrendered before the Trial Court and has been behind bars since the last about four months, a lenient view is taken. The petition, as such, is accepted and it is ordered that the petitioner be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate concerned.
