warrant as well as the NBW and in view of that he has not appeared before the learned court. He further submits that he has got instruction that the petitioner is ready to appear before the learned court and submits that two weeks’ time may kindly be allowed to him to appear before the learned court.
5.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent-CBI submits that process under Section 82 Cr.P.C has been issued in light of the fact that the petitioner was not appearing before the learned court. He submits that if the petitioner will not appear within two weeks before the learned court, this Court may pass appropriate order.
6. Considering that process under section 82 Cr.P.C was only to compel the petitioner to appear before the learned court and it has been pointed out in course of the argument that the petitioner is ready to appear before the learned court on 19.08.2025, and in that view of the matter, this petition is being
disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to appear before the learned court on
19.08.2025.
7. If the petitioner appears before the learned court on 19.08.2025, the
order dated 15.03.2023 passed by learned Special Judge-CBI, Ranchi, Jharkhand in R.C.No.08/S/2014-EOW-R shall not be given effect.
8. It is made clear that if the petitioner will not appear before the learned court on 19.08.2025, all the coercive steps will be taken against the petitioner by the learned court.
