¶16

Court. Non-appearance of the petitioner is bonafide and unintentional. It is prayed that petitioner is ready to give appearance before the Court below but he has apprehension of being arrested in the case. Hence, this petition.

¶17

Learned counsel for the State opposes the grounds raised in the petition and the submissions made.

¶18

Heard the counsel for both the parties and perused the documents on record.

¶19

The Additional Sessions Judge, Kunkuri District-Jashpur released the petitioner on bail vide order dated 24.8.2009, which is still in operation and not cancelled by the competent Court. Hence, the effect of cancellation of bail bonds by the trial Court is only to this extent that petitioner can appear before the Court and make a prayer for cancellation of warrant of arrest along with a prayer to furnish fresh bail bonds. The trial Court shall have liberty to pass order of forfeiture of earlier bail and bonds cancelled before the issuance of warrant of arrest.

¶20

With the aforesaid observations, this petition is dismissed at the motion stage itself directing the petitioner to appear before the trial Court concerned on or before 30^th November, 2017.
