1. Prayer in this petition is for setting aside the order dated 18.11.2024 passed by the Court of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Naraingarh in case arising out of FIR No.200 dated 15.07.2020, registered under Sections 186, 323, 332, 353, 506 and 34 IPC at Police Station Naraingarh, District Ambala, whereby the bail granted to the petitioners was cancelled, their bonds were forfeited to the State and non- bailable warrants were ordered to be issued against them for 09.01.2025.
2. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that their non-appearance before the trial Court on 18.11.2024 was neither deliberate nor intentional, but was on account of the fact that they had filed a petition before this Court seeking quashing of the FIR, which was disposed of on
14.09.2023. The petitioners, under a bona fide impression that their NISHA 2025.09.25 19.16 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
CRM-M-53865-2025 -2- appearance before the trial Court was not required after filing the quashing petition, did not appear. It is further submitted that the petitioners are ready to appear before the learned trial Court to join proceedings and are willing to abide by any terms and conditions imposed. It is, therefore, urged that the present petition deserves to be allowed.
3. Notice of motion.
4. On the asking of the Court, Mr. Apoorv Garg, learned Additional Advocate General, Haryana accepts notice on behalf of the respondent/State and vehemently contests the claim of the petitioners by submitting that the petition for quashing of the FIR had been withdrawn much prior to the passing of the impugned order and, therefore, no justification is made out for interference.
3. Though, no justification has been made out for setting aside the impugned orders as no illegality seems to have been committed by learned trial Court while passing the same, however, in view of the request made by
learned counsel for the petitioners at this stage to grant the petitioners one more opportunity to surrender before the trial Court and further keeping in view the fact that the absence of the petitioner does not attract the consequences of detaining them into custody as they are willing to join the trial and the ultimate aim is to ensure timely disposal of the cases before the learned trial Court, the present petition is disposed of with the direction to the petitioner to surrender before the learned trial Court on or before 08.10.2025 and it is further ordered that on his surrender and on moving appropriate application, the learned trial Court shall admit them to bail subject to deposit of costs of Rs.10,000/- each with DLSA, Naraingarh and NISHA 2025.09.25 19.16 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
CRM-M-53865-2025 -3- further subject to their furnishing personal as well as surety bonds to its satisfaction. Petition stands disposed of. A copy of this order be sent to the trial Court.
