Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner could not appear before the trial court on one date as he had noted a wrong date of hearing. Due to this reason, his bail bonds were cancelled and surety bonds were forfeited. Resultantly, non-baliable warrants of arrest were issued. According to learned counsel, petitioner had been regularly appearing before the trial court and never intended to absent from the court proceedings. He submits that petitioner is ready to surrender before trial court and also furnish an undertaking that he shall not absent himself from court proceedings on any date in future.

In view of above, it is directed that in case petitioner surrenders before the trial court within ten days from today and applies for regular bail, his plea shall be decided on the same day. Disposed of.
