Heard by consent of parties. 2. The petitioner is being prosecuted for commission of an offence punishable under section 24(2) of the Securities and Exchange Board of India act 1992. The petitioner failed to remain present before the Special Judge on 5-12-2007 and hence the Special Court issued non-bailable warrant against the petitioner. It is the case of the petitioner that on account of some communication gap between the petitioner and his counsel incorrect factual position was stated before the Special Judge on 24-1-2008. The trial court has also issued a proclamation on 6-2-2008. A limited prayer is pressed in service in this petition and the same is for grant of stay to the non-bailable warrant issued against the petitioner so that the petitioner can appear before the concerned court and make appropriate applications. The learned counsel for the respondent supportpugned order. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the thisit petition by granting stay to the execution of the non-bailable warrant issued by the Special Judge dated 5-12-2007 for a period of two weeks from today. It is clarified that the petitioner shall not be arrested for two weeks. Writ Petition thus stands disposed of. Needless to mention that it will be open for the petitioner to make appropriate application for compounding before Special Judge. ....
