ORDER
Having been allowed bail, the petitioner absented himself from the Court on 21-3-1994 on which date the case had been fixed for recording of prosecution evidence and ten P.Ws. were in attendance. Non-bailable warrants were thereafter issued and the petitioner remained fugitive for at least two A months and it was finally on 24-5-1994 that he could be taken into custody. In the meantime he had, however, come to this Court only on 15-5-1994. The learned counsel has no explanation as to where the petitioner was from 21-3-1994 to 15-5-1994.
2. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the petitioner has demonstrated that he is not worthy of the concession which had been allowed 8 to him and I do not febl persuaded to take a chance a second time and to release him on bail again.
3. This petition is, therefore, dismissed.
N.H.O./T-95/L Bail refused.
