While issuing notice of motion on January 9, 2007, the arrest of the petitioner was stayed subject to the condition that he will appear before the trial court and furnish his fresh regular bail bonds to its satisfaction. I have heard the counsel for the parties. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner was on regular bail in the aforesaid case and was regularly appearing, but on 4.1.2007, he could not appear and his bail bonds were cancelled and he was summoned through non-bailable warrants. Counsel contends that the petitioner could not appear on the aforesaid date as he had wrongly noted the date as 3.2.2007. Counsel further contends that in terms of the interim order dated January 9, 2007, the petitioner had appeared before the trial court and furnished his fresh bail bonds which have been accepted and attested and since then he is regularly appearing. Counsel for the respondent-State on instructions from HC Bagga Singh, does not dispute this fact.
