' He was admitted to bail and as per his counsel's statement had been appearing before the trial Court on 44 dates of hearing but failed to appear on 29-9-1989 through inadvertence as a result of which his non-boilable warrants of arrest were issued and he was arrested on 23-1-1989.

The prosecution evidence has been recorded and the case is at arguments stage.
