Offence under Section 29 NDPS Act was added in the FIR during investigation. Vide impugned order, petitioner’s bail was cancelled, his bail/surety bonds were forfeited to the State and non- bailable warrants were issued against him.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was allowed regular bail in the aforementioned case and had been regularly appearing before learned trial Court each and every date. Being unwell, he moved an application for exemption from personal appearance on 01.09.2026, which learned trial Court erroneously dismissed, cancelled petitioner’s bail, forfeited his bail bonds and issued non-bailable warrants AJAY GOSWAMI 2026.09.11 19:10 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
