Admittedly, non-bailable warrants of arrest are pending against the petitioner. The circumstances under which those non- bailable warrants of arrest came to be issued against the petitioner are not discernible to this Court.

In case, the petitioner complies with the above condition, he shall be released on bail on appropriate conditions. V. RAMKUMAR, (JUDGE) ani
