Notice of motion. 4. Mr. Ramesh Kumar Ambavta, learned Addl. A.G. Haryana, accepts notice on behalf of the respondent/State. 5. Perusal of the impugned order passed by the learned Judge, Special Court, shows that the present prosecution arises out of a case registered under Section 15 of the NDPS Act. The report of the FSL had not been received and the learned Court was awaiting the receipt of the said report. On the date fixed, the petitioner could not appear before the Court and was marked absent. Though the absence of the petitioner cannot be said to be justified, however, since no effective proceedings were required to be conducted on that date, the cancellation of bail granted to the petitioner and forfeiture of bail bonds and surety bonds was not warranted. 6. Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and the present petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to appear before the learned Judge, Special Court, within a period of 10 days from today. 7. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, stand disposed of.
