In the case of Sandeep Kumar Tekriwal Vs. State of Bihar and Ors. (Supra) while considering the ambit and purport of Section 317 Cr.P.C. it was held as follows:- “A Magistrate while rejecting a representation under Section 317 CrPC cannot at the same time cancel bail bond and issue non bailable warrant of arrest, if on preceding dates has not clearly directed that personal attendance under Section 317, CrPC will no longer be dispensed with. The Court ought to provide a reasonable opportunity to the accused to appear in person whose representation was earlier being allowed under Section 317, Cr PC.”
