On 14.10.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner could not appear on one date due to illness and moved an application for exemption which was declined, his bail was cancelled and warrants for his arrest issued. Apart from that as per learned counsel the dispute is of dishonouring of cheque of Rs.20,000/- and the petitioner is ready to make the said payment.” Counsel for the complainant has pointed out that the petitioner Crl. Misc No. M 28668 of 2011 ::2:: sought exemptions four times each in 2007 and 2008, three times in 2009, four times in 2010 and twice in 2011. Counsel for the petitioner undertakes that the petitioner shall not seek any exemption in future but states that it would be in the interest of justice, if the trial Court is directed to decide this 7 years old case expeditiously. In view of the above undertaking, counsel for the complainant has no objection to the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner is directed to appear before the trial Court on the date fixed who shall accept his bail bonds subject to the undertaking mentioned above. The trial Court is also directed to finally dispose of the case on or before 31.7.2012. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) November 08, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
