Justice S P Singh passed the order and fixed June 16 as the next date for hearing.
The High Court had yesterday reserved its order on Nirmal Baba's plea challenging the legality of the non-bailable warrant of arrest issued by the Araria court.
The Araria court had issued the non-bailable arrest warrant against Nirmal Baba on Saturday on the basis of an FIR filed on April 21 by complainant Rakesh Kumar Singh, who alleged the Baba forced him to pay Rs 1,000 in three instalments between January and March 2011 on promise of fame and fortune.
