However, the learned State VINOD KUMAR ARYA 2026.08.14 10:14 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Counsel has orally opposed the present petition. 4. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was regularly appearing before the learned trial Court, but, on 10.07.2026 she could not appear before the learned trial Court because of health issues. As per learned counsel for the petitioner, in the abovementioned circumstances, the impugned order was passed, which deserves to be quashed. 5. The record has been perused. 6. Once it is an admitted fact that the petitioner was not present before the learned trial Court, in compliance with the conditions imposed in the bail order, it is hereby held that the learned trial Court was left with no option but to cancel the bail order, forfeit the bail bonds and issue warrant of arrest against the petitioner. Since apparently, there is no illegality in the abovementioned order, there is no scope of interference in the impugned order. 7. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner has sought liberty for the petitioner to surrender before the learned trial Court and move an application for bail. The learned counsel for the petitioner has prayed for a direction to the learned trial Court to dispose of the bail application, to be moved by the petitioner, in a time-bound manner. 8. In view of above, the present petition is hereby disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before the learned trial Court. If she surrenders before the learned trial Court and moves an application for bail, the learned trial Court is directed to dispose of the bail application within two VINOD KUMAR ARYA 2026.08.14 10:14 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document days.
