Thereafter, vide impugned order dated 14.10.2022 and all subsequent orders, the learned trial court had issued proclamation and attachment against the petitioner.
4.1. Mr. Shome further submits that because of HIS avocation, the petitioner was at Tuli, Nagaland and on such count, he could not appear before the learned trial court on the date fixed. Mr. Shome also submits that now the petitioner is ready to face the trial and will appear before the learned trial court on each and every date and therefore, he may be given a chance to appear before the learned trial court to face the trial and also to recall his warrant of arrest as well as the proclamation and attachment.
5.
