In fact, wrong date was noted by the petitioner and only because of this reason, he could not cause his appearance on the date fixed. He states that the next date fixed before the trial Court is 13.1.2020. He undertakes that the petitioner shall appear before the learned trial Court on any date to be fixed by this Court.
