Mr. Sanjeev Mehla, Public Prosecutor for the State. **** The case of the petitioner is that a complaint was filed against him and other accused persons by the complainant Shri K.C. Verma, Food Inspector under Section 7/16 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. It is submitted that the Counsel for the petitioner assured the petitioner that as and when his presence will be required, he will be informed and thus, the petitioner was under bonafide impression that he will be informed as and when required, but as the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court on the date fixed, the bailable warrants were forfeited and arrest warrant was issued against him. The petitioner also moved application under Section 70(2) Cr.P.C. before the trial Court for converting the non-bailable warrant into bailable warrant, but the same has been rejected. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is ready to appear before the trial Court and participate in criminal proceedings [2] SB CRIM. MISC. PET. NO. 965/2009 in Criminal Case No. 774/2003, but the arrest warrant issued against him may be converted into bailable warrant. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Public Prosecutor and upon perusal of the material on record, in the interest of justice, I deem it proper to direct the petitioner Rajesh Kumar Sharma S/o Shri Kalyan Prasad Sharma to appear before the trial Court on or before 20.11.2009. In case the petitioner surrenders himself before the trial Court on or before 20.11.2009, the trial Court is directed to convert the arrest warrant into bailable warrant on his furnishing bail bonds to its satisfaction. With these observations, this misc. petition stands allowed. The stay application also stands disposed of. (K.S. RATHORE),J. /KKC/
