PETITION NO.2357/07 Sabu Khan & Ors. Versus State DATE OF ORDER :: 15/01/2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Mr. Azad Ahmed, for petitioners Mr. Arun Sharma, Public Prosecutor for State *** Since both the petitions arise from selfsame offence, are being decided by this common order. Accused-petitioners are facing trial for offence u/ss.147, 323 & 141 IPC. It appears from the record that statements of prosecution witnesses were recorded and matter was fixed for defence evidence on 13th June, 2006. At this stage, petitioners failed to appear before learned trial Judge. As such, standing arrest warrants were issued and proceedings were also initiated against them. At this stage, application was filed by accused-petitioners u/s.70(2) Cr.P.C. for converting arrest warrants into bailable warrants, which was dismissed on 23rd October, 2007 and separate proceedings were also initiated. Aggrieved against the said order, they preferred revision petition, which too has been dismissed by the court of revision vide order dated 30th October, 2007. CMP 2356/07 [2] This court has heard counsel for parties and taking note of alleged offence being committed and reasonable justification which has come on record, this court considers appropriate to convert the arrest warrants into bailable warrants and if petitioners appear before trial Judge on or before 18th February, 2008, he may take their bail bonds to his satisfaction and proceed further. If petitioners fail to appear on or before the said date, trial Judge will be free to proceed further in accordance with law. With the above observations, both the misc. petitions stand disposed of.
