Criminal Misc. No. M- 26806 of 2016 (OM) -2-
It is noted that these petitions have been pending since
June/August, 2016. It is recorded in order dated 08.09.2016 in
Criminal Misc. No. M- 26806 of 2016 that copies of the passport and
tickets have not been placed on record, however, it was stated that the
petitioner would be returning to India in March, 2017. Thereafter, the
matter was adjourned on various occasions at request of learned
counsel for the petitioner. On 10.01.2018, it was informed by learned
counsel for the petitioner that he has no instructions as to the date on
which the petitioner would return to India in February, 2018.
Today, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner shall not be able to come to India till at least April, 2018. It is
relevant to note that both these petitions are pending since the year
2016. Despite indulgence by this Court on numerous occasions, the
petitioner has not returned to India. It is apparent that bona fides on the
part of the petitioner are clearly lacking. Keeping in view the facts and
circumstances of the case, petitioner deserves no indulgence from this
Court.
Both petitions are, accordingly, dismissed.
