(Oral) After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he be permitted to withdraw the present petition with liberty to raise all the arguments before the trial Court, at appropriate stage. As prayed, the present petition is hereby dismissed as withdrawn with the liberty aforesaid. Learned counsel for the petitioner has further made a prayer that the present FIR pertains to the year 2007 and the petitioner is an old person, aged more than 65 years. Therefore, taking these facts into consideration, the order dated 13.2.2009, whereby the personal appearance of the petitioner was exempted, be made absolute. Criminal Misc. No. M-582 of 2009 2 I find merit in the alternative submission made by learned counsel for the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is granted exemption from personal appearance before the trial Court subject to filing an undertaking that he shall cause appearance as and when required and the evidence recorded in his absence but in the presence of his counsel shall be binding upon him. The trial Court may also specify any other condition in the undertaking to be furnished by the petitioner. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge October 28, 2010 “DK”
