Act in which the process under Section 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. is initiated and the along with N.B.W. was also issued on 11.06.2026. 4.

Apparently, the applicant is adopting the delaying tactics, however, for substantial justice an opportunity is being given to the applicant to ensure his presence on the next date fixed before the trial court. Till then N.B.W dated 11.06.2026 as well as proceeding under Section 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. shall remain suspended. It is made clear that if the applicant fails to ensure his presence before the trial court on the next date fixed, the NBW issued against him as well as the proceeding under Section 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. will automatically be revived. 7. Subject to the observation and direction as above, the instant C528 application is disposed of finally. (Rakesh Thapliyal, J.) 04-08-2026 Parul UKHC010136152026 2026:UHC:6839
