Criminal Misc. No. M-16022 of 2026 5.

It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been regularly appearing before the learned trial Court, and that on 10.03.2026 due to illness he was indisposed and therefore, he could not appear before the learned trial Court. As per learned counsel for the petitioner the learned trial Court without looking into the abovementioned fact-situation dismissed the application filed by the petitioner for exemption and cancelled his bail. According to learned counsel for the petitioner since it was the first default on the part of the petitioner, and the difficulty on the part of petitioner was genuine, the cancellation of bail order is harsh and deserves to be set aside.

6.

The record has been perused carefully.

7.

In view of above-mentioned fact-situation the petitioner is hereby directed to appear before the learned trial Court by next date fixed in the above-mentioned case, and in case he surrenders before the Court and moves an application for fresh bail the same would be decided by the learned trial Court on the same day. If the above-mentioned bail application does not find favour with the learned trial Court, the petitioner shall be admitted to interim bail for a period of two weeks, subject to the furnishing of bonds to the satisfaction of learned trial Court. 8.

The present petition stands disposed of, accordingly. (Surya Partap Singh) Judge March 24, 2026 "DK"
