1. By way of the present Application, the Applicant seeks to quash and set aside the order dated 11.05.2026 below Exh.40 in Sessions Case No.15/2020 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Shrirampur, whereby the application (Exh.40) preferred by the Applicant for cancellation of NBW and releasing him on bail came to be rejected on the ground of his absence before the Trial Court and his bail bonds and sureties also came to be forfeited. After passing of the said order, the Applicant came to be taken into custody. The Applicant has also prayed that he be enlarged on bail in the said Sessions Case. 2.

Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant and the learned APP for the State.

He further undertakes that the Applicant will regularly remain present before the Trial Court on all dates of hearing and will fully cooperate with the Trial Court for expeditious disposal of the Sessions Case without seeking unnecessary adjournments. He, therefore, prays that the Application be allowed.

The learned APP opposed the Application on the ground that the Applicant had remained absent for a considerable period and therefore, he prays that, the Application be rejected.

Considering the submissions advanced and the undertaking given on behalf of the Applicant, the Application deserves to be allowed. Hence, the following order:-
