Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant was granted bail in the instant case by the Special Judge, N.D.P.S. Act/Additional Sessions Judge, Court No.1, Saharanpur vide order dated 14.01.2022, but subsequently he could not attend the court as he is a labourer in Punjab and NBW was issued against him on 31.01.2024.
