Heard. From Annexure P-1, case status reflected on the e-Courts Mission Mode Project website and the daily orders placed on record, it appears that petitioner has been summoned as an accused. Non-bailable warrants have been issued only to secure his presence in the trial. The offence under Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 being bailable in nature, petitioner is directed to put in appearance before the trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Hisar on the date fixed i.e. 14.08.2026. Till then, non-bailable warrants issued against the petitioner shall be kept in abeyance. Petition stands disposed of on the aforesaid terms. Pending CRM(s), if any, are also disposed of accordingly.
