3. Admittedly, the petitioner has been granted bail but a cursory glance over the abovesaid order dated 21.05.2026 would indicate that the petitioner has not even bothered to submit bail bonds before the learned Trial Court.

He submits that the next date before the learned Trial Court is 29.07.2026 and if the NBWs are not cancelled/recalled, there is every possibility of his getting arrested.
