DATE : 16th APRIL, 2026.

P.C. :

1.

Heard learned counsel for the Applicant, learned APP and learned counsel for the Complainant/ Intervenor. 2.

Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that he informed the applicant to surrender before the concerned authority, but, he did not surrender. Hence, appropriate orders be passed. Learned counsel tenders email sent to the Applicant. It is taken on record. 3.

It is contention of the learned counsel for the Intervenor that this Court had granted temporary bail to the Applicant on the ground of family function and he assured this Court that he will surrender before the authority. Thereafter, this Court extended the temporary bail for two times. After extension of temporary bail twice, he did not surrender. It

901- BA- 3729 of 2025.doc Tikam shows that he has scasnt respect to the order of this Court and he misused the liberty given to him. Hence, requested to dismiss the main bail application of the Applicant and requested to issue non-bailable warrant against him.

4.

Learned APP supported the contention of learned counsel for the Intervenor.

5.

I have heard all learned counsel. This Court had granted temporary bail to the Applicant for attending family function. But after the temporary bail period was over, Applicant did not surrender before the authority though his temporary bail was extended twice by this Court. Applicant's regular bail application is pending before this Court. As Applicant has not surrendered and he is not behind bars. Hence, his regular bail application cannot be entertained. 6.

Considering these facts, regular bail application of the Applicant is dismissed for non-prosecution. When applicant is arrested or surrenders, he can file a fresh bail application.

7.

Bail application is disposed of as dismissed. 8.

Issue non-bailable warrant against the Applicant, returnable on 04/05/2026 ' for compliance'.
