JUSTICE MANISHA BATRA Present:- Mr. Jitender Singh Dadwal, Advocate for the appellant. ***** MANISHA BATRA J.(Oral) 1. Present petition has been filed for setting aside the order dated 16.07.2025 (Annexure P-1) passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, whereby non-bailable warrants were ordered to be issued against the petitioner for non-appearance on the fixed date. 2. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that proceedings for declaring the petitioner as a proclaimed person have now been ordered to be initiated and the matter has been posted for 09.10.2025. He has placed on record copies of the subsequent orders passed by the learned Trial Court. It is further submitted that the absence of the petitioner on 16.07.2025 was not intentional and even an application for exemption from personal appearance was filed on that date which, according to learned counsel, was rejected without passing a SHWETA 2025.09.17 15:06 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-52001-2025 (O&M) 2 speaking order. He further submitted that petitioner is ready to abide by any terms which may be imposed and to appear before the Trial Court. 3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and have perused the paper-book. 4. On consideration of Annexure P-1 and the submissions advanced on behalf of the petitioner, this Court does not find any infirmity in the impugned order, as the same had been passed on account of the petitioner’s non-appearance on the date fixed. However, since no formal order cancelling the bail of the petitioner has been placed on record and the petitioner has expressed his readiness to appear before the Trial Court and to abide by the conditions imposed upon him, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall appear before the Trial Court within ten days from today and on his appearance, the Trial Court shall consider him to be on bail (in view of the fact that his bail has not been cancelled by the Court). The Trial Court shall thereafter proceed with the matter in accordance with law and the petitioner shall ensure his regular appearance on the subsequent dates of hearing. In case of default, it shall be open for the Trial Court to take appropriate action, including cancellation of bail and issuance of warrants, in accordance with law.
