Since the offences are bailable, therefore, the petitioner was on bail but he did not appear on 2.8.2011 before the trial Court, hence, his bail bonds were cancelled and he was summoned through non-bailable warrants. Afraid of being arrested, petitioner filed pre-arrest bail before the learned Sessions Court and was granted interim bail vide order dated 6.8.2011 with the rider that if he appears before the Court below within 15 days then he shall be released on interim bail. Petitioner did not appear before the learned trial Court as well within the time prescribed by Sessions Court and when the file was again put up before the Session Court, as per order dated 6.8.2011, interim bail granted to him was not extended and bail application was dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he could not appear before the learned trial Court on 2.8.2011 as he had noted the wrong date and he could not appear before the learned Sessions Court because of the death of close relative. Although there is no prima facie evidence brought on record in respect of the aforesaid contentions yet the petitioner is directed to appear before the learned trial Court on or before 22.9.2011. On his doing so, the bail application, if any filed, shall be decided by the learned trial Court on the same day after taking into consideration the explanation given by him. Petition is disposed of. Copy dasti. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
