RAJAN 2026.07.16 10:15 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-34144-2025(O&M) 2 In order to enable the petitioner to participate in the mediation proceedings, interim bail was granted till 30.09.2025, and the present petition was adjourned to 29.09.2025. Thereafter, despite several opportunities having been granted, petitioner neither complied with the terms of the proposed settlement nor appeared before the Mediation & Conciliation Centre of this Court. Petitioner also failed to pay the agreed amount. Moreover, he continued to enjoy the benefit of interim protection till 04.05.2026, when bailable warrants were ordered to be issued against him. Even today, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite making their best efforts, they have been unable to obtain clear instructions from the petitioner, who is neither contacting them nor is in touch with them. Consequently, learned counsel expresses helplessness in the absence of any instructions. 3. Be that as it may, having regard to the conduct of the petitioner, this Court finds no ground to continue the indulgence granted earlier. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed. 4. It is further directed that the Court concerned shall take appropriate steps for securing the presence of the petitioner, including issuance of non-bailable warrants, if so required, in accordance with law. In case, the Investigating Officer fails to take effective steps for execution of the process, the Superintendent of Police concerned shall ensure compliance and apprise the Court concerned of the action taken.
