2. We have herd the petitioner's counsel. His application before the High Court was based on the ground that the challan had not yet been submitted against him in any Court. The High Court, however, observed that it appeared that he challan lard been filed and that delay in submitting the same had been caused by the abscondence of the two of the co‑accused of the petitioner.

4. In this view of the matter we do not consider this a fit case fore interference with the impugned order of the High Court. This petitioner is consequently dismissed.
