JYOTI THAKUR 2026.07.24 08:52 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 6. I have considered the submissions of both the sides and examined the relevant material available on record. The petitioner has remiss in appearing before the Court only on one date i.e. on 03.07.2026 when impugned order declaring the petitioner ‘proclaimed person’ has been passed against him. It also cannot be left unnoticed that as and when the petitioner came to know about passing of the impugned order, the petitioner has moved the present petition, showing his inclination to submit himself before the trial Court. JYOTI THAKUR 2026.07.24 08:52 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document 7. In totality of circumstances, I am of the view that the petitioner can be given one chance to appear before the trial Court, so that proceedings may restart and continue in smooth manner. Accordingly, plea of the petitioner is accepted. Impugned order dated 03.07.2026 (P-3) is set aside to the extent of issuance of non bailable warrants and he is directed to be released on bail, in the eventuality of surrender by him before the trial Court on or before 06.08.2026. The petitioner shall also furnish fresh bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Besides, petitioner would also submit specific undertaking/affidavit that he will keep appearing during the proceedings of the trial in future and the proceedings would not be delayed because of his conduct. 8. With aforementioned terms, present petition stands disposed of. Jyoti Thakur JYOTI THAKUR 2026.07.24 08:52 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
