9. From the facts indicated in the affidavits and counter-affidavits, it is clear that the petitioner was detained in Case Crime No. 109 of 1997 and the C.J.M., Fatehgarh, had issued a 'B' warrant (commonly called production warrant) under Section 267, Cr.P.C. for his production before him in relation to Case Crime No. 595 of 1994. The order of the C.J.M. was recorded in the order sheet dated 1.4.97. 'B' warrant was signed on 4.4.97 and was served upon the Jailor at Lucknow Jail where the accused was being detained in Case Crime No. 109 of 1997. The 'B' warrant clearly indicated that the accused was being wanted in Case Crime No. 595 of 1994 and in that case, his remand was necessary by the Court concerned and only under those circumstances, his production was directed to be made before the C.J.M., Fatehgarh, on 15.4.97. Admittedly, no action was taken by the Jailor on this production warrant and no explanation for non-compliance has been given although it was received on 8.4.97. The next 'B' warrant had to be issued on 2.6.97 requiring production of the accused before the C.J.M. on 10.6.97 and this too was not obeyed. Immediately, the accused was sent to Farrukhabad only in July. There is no explanation for this delay.
