2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner was earlier granted bail in this case and he was appearing before the learned trial Court but due to his absence on only one date i.e. 15-1-2013 his bail was cancelled. Further contends that non-appearance of the petitioner was not at all intentional rather due to long march of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri, the public transport was not available, therefore, he could not appear before the learned trial Court and that the petitioner shall regularly appear before the learned trial Court in future if he is granted bail.
3. Learned Special Prosecutor for Customs does not seriously oppose the request of bail of the petitioner.
