It is submitted that the petitioner had been regularly appearing at the trial, but on account of his detention in connection with another case namely, Mukalmuah P.S. Case No. 246/2025, he failed to appear on the dates fixed in the present case. Upon learning of the detention of the petitioner in the other case, the learned trial Court issued a production warrant, and upon production, the petitioner was committed to custody in the present case. Subsequently, the petitioner was granted bail in Mukalmua P.S. Case No. 246/2025. However, the petitioner continues to remain in custody in connection with the present case, as the learned trial Court rejected his bail application in view of the pendency of another case against him. 4. It appears from the above that the petitioner did not deliberately absent Page No.# 3/3 himself from the trial proceedings, but was prevented from appearing on account of his detention in the other case as mentioned above. 5. Having regard to the above, the prayer for bail is allowed. 6. The petitioner, Md.
