Despite repeated calls, petitioner has not turned up before the Court. In pre-arrest bail, personal attendance of petitioner, unless dispensed with, is mandatory. No application seeking dispensation of personal attendance has been moved. Yesterday, the petitioner was present and on the request of vice counsel the matter was fixed for today but today the petitioner became absent. As per F.I.R, the petitioner while posing himself a lawyer as well as Army Officer committed cheating. I.O in attendance submits that during the course of investigation petitioner was found fully involved in the occurrence. Instant FIR was registered on 27.05.2025 and since then petitioner is enjoying premium of pre-arrest bail. No one can be allowed to approach the Courts at the time of his own choice/whim. Pre-arrest bail is an extra ordinary relief, the conduct of the petitioner in the reported occurrence as well as his conduct before the Court, disentitles him for the prayed relief.

2.       In view of above, instant petition stands dismissed and ad-interim pre-arrest bail already granted to the petitioner vide order dated 03.07.2025 is hereby recalled.
