¶2The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner entered into the police station and prevented the officials from doing their duty and caused damages. Hence, the case. Now case is charge sheeted and pending trial.

¶3The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner was already released on bail and since the petitioner has not turned up for the hearing, Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) was ordered to be issued on 23.08.2023. He would further submit that the petitioner is innocent and he was falsely implicated in this case and he is no way connected in the above said incident. He would further submit that the due to health issue, he could not appear before the Trial Court. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶7Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to appear before the Trial Court, where the NBW is pending and file an appropriate application for cancellation of NBW within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of this order and to file an application for cancellation of Non-Bailable Warrant. If such application is filed, the Trial Court is directed to consider the same on the same day in accordance with law, on merits.
