Learned counsel further contends that the petitioner was regularly appearing before the Trial Court and never misused the concession of bail. However, the petitioner was suffering from fever since several days and he could not appear before the Trial Court on 15.05.2026. Due to non-appearance of the petitioner, the Trial Court had cancelled the bail and the bail bonds and surety bonds were ordered to be forfeited to the State and the petitioner was ordered to be summoned through non-bailable warrants of arrest. Learned counsel for the petitioner next contends that the petitioner is ready to surrender before the Court and shall join the trial proceedings. He further contends that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date of hearing, before the Trial Court and shall not absent himself during the Court proceedings. 3. Notice of motion. 4. Mr. Rajinder Kumar Banku, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. who is present in the Court, accepts notice on behalf of respondent- State. 5. Learned State counsel has vehemently opposed the prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner had not appeared intentionally before the Trial Court and there is no illegality in the impugned order dated 15.05.2026 passed by the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Panipat and the petitioner does not deserve the concession of bail.

It is not in dispute that that the petitioner was on bail earlier and was regularly appearing before the Trial Court, however, on 15.05.2026, he could not appear before the Trial Court, as he was suffering from fever.

At the time of furnishing of bail bonds, the petitioner shall also file an affidavit before the concerned Court that he shall continue to appear before the Court on each and every date of hearing and shall not absent himself during the Court proceedings, except with prior permission of the Court. 9.
