She was arrested in connection with crime and subsequently released on bail by the concerned court in the sum of Rs.2,000/­. After completion of investigation, Chembur Police Station filed charge sheet. After filing of the Charge Sheet the applicant failed to attend the Court. Consequently, Non­Bailable Warrant and later proclamation came to be issued against the applicant. Thereafter, the applicant surrendered before the Court on 14.11.2011 and applied for fresh bail. The application for bail was rejected by the Trial Court and also later by the Sessions Court. pmw 2 ba1769-11-904 2. Mr. Shelar, learned counsel for the applicant submits that in fact the summons which was required to be served upon applicant was never served. It also happened that the applicant got married and shifted to her matrimonial house. He submits that the absence of the applicant was not deliberate. The applicant has disclosed her present address in the application. It is seen from the documents annexed to the application that she had not absconded and was not trying to avoid the Court proceedings. She is seen to have been working in a private firm in Bombay city itself. Therefore, the applicant can be released on bail. However, considering the fact that the proceedings against the applicant have been pending since the year 2000 and the long pendency has been on account of the absence of the applicant, she is required to be subjected to condition of attendance at police station in order to ensure her presence in the Court for the Trial. Hence the order. The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.1,000/­ with one surety in the like amount. The applicant shall attend Chembur Police Station once a week i.e. on every Saturday between 10 a.m. to 12 noon until completion of the trial. (Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota,J.)
