The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that he could not remain present in the trial court on account of personal difficulty. He submits that two weeks stay to the non-bailable warrant may be granted in order to enable him to apply before the learned Magistrate. :2: 4. It is not possible to accept the said submission. It is always open for the applicant to file an application for exemption through his advocate. Admittedly, the said application was not preferred. Secondly, the applicant can verywell approach the learned Magistrate and apply for cancellation of the non-bailable warrant. No case is made out to interfere with the order of the learned Magistrate. The application is, therefore, rejected. 5. Application is accordingly disposed of. V.M. V.M. V.M. KANADE, J. KANADE, J. KANADE, J.
