Was this after filing of chargesheet or before.
If it was after filing of chargesheet, then it is not an lapse.

Non production has nothing to do with right to bail. Judicial custody means accused is in the custody of court (and not police)and he is lodged in a place or abode called jail/prison. He is deemed to be and continued in judicial custody until admitted on bail. Non production without reasonable cause may be a procedural lapse and no right whatsoever accrues therefrom to the accused.Production of accused is an administrative action on the part of the jail authorities. Production is insisted upon because anything done or any order passed in criminal case must be in the presence of the accused.
