-2CRM-M-48079 of 2022 application for exemption from his personal appearance on medical grounds. The said application has rightly been dismissed by the trial Court as the petitioner had obtained medical certificate from a private doctor. Moreover, petitioner was not suffering from illness due to which he could not attend the Court. Thus, it is clear that he adopted this tactics just to delay the trial. Therefore, the impugned order is perfectly valid in the eyes of law as no cogent reason has been given by the petitioner for his absence.

In view of the above, this petition is dismissed. However, if the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within ten days from today and files an application for regular bail, the trial Court will decide the same expeditiously in accordance with law.
