    this Court.

    Keeping in mind that the offence under Section 138 of the Act is a bailable one, keeping in mind that the petitioner had attended the

    trial regularly from 17.07.2004 to 27.07.2007, keeping in mind the undertaking given by the petitioner that he will regularly attend the

    Court, this Court converts the non-bailable warrant into bailable one. The petitioner is directed to appear before the learned trial Court
