Further, the charge sheet prima facie reveals specific allegations against the petitioner.

Having considered the submission of the learned counsel and in the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is hereby directed to appear before the trial Court and file an application seeking to recall the warrant issued against him and, on filing of such application, the learned Magistrate is directed to recall the warrant and, subsequently, the petitioner is directed to file an application under Section 205 of Cr.P.C. with a prayer to dispense with his appearance before the trial Court and, on filing of such application, the learned Magistrate is directed to consider the same, in accordance with law.
