The present bail application was filed on 27.02.2025 after supplying an advance copy to the State/ Police, before it being listed for the first time on 03.03.2025 when it was duly represented. Although no stay/ interim order was granted in favour of the applicant, however, the same was kept day after 05.03.2025 for hearing. 2. In the interregnum, the Police moved an appropriate application before the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Saket Courts, New Delhi (learned M.M.) for taking appropriate steps with respect to issuance of Non-bailable Warrants against the applicant, and though it was granted on 02.03.2025, however, filing/ receipt of the present application was not brought to the notice of the learned M.M. as there was no mention therein.

At this stage, Mr. Ravinder Tomar, the erstwhile SHO and Mr. Vipin Rathi, I.O., both present in Court, have tendered their due unconditional apology and submit with all fairness that they shall rectify their mistake(s), if any, and shall not commit these kind of errors in future. 5. This Court accepts the respective apology tendered by Mr. Ravinder Tomar, the erstwhile SHO and Mr. Vipin Rathi, I.O. in open Court. 6. However, considering that the I.O. and the erstwhile SHO involved, are present in Court, this Court feels it appropriate to call upon them not to repeat the same steps which were followed hurriedly by them in such an arbitrary manner, particularly, since they are for providing assistance and protection to the common man on the street and also have a personal liability towards the people of this Nation, and since they themselves have a future ahead. 7. Since nothing is remaining in the present bail application, the same has become infructuous. 8. Accordingly, the present bail application is disposed of.
