Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the nephew of the complainant- opposite party no.2 is working as a clerk in the district judiciary, therefore, he may influence the case proceedings. During the course of hearing, it is not disputed by the learned counsel that in the complaint, the accused- applicant appeared only once i.e. on 23rd July, 2024 when he was extended the concessions of regular bail, and thereafter he never appeared before the trial court, as he has been seeking exemption from personal appearance.

The cost to be deposited within one month before the Registrar General, High Court Allahabad, who will, thereafter forward the same to the High Court Legal Services Committee.
