Registry to tag the same at appropriate place. CRM-M No. 8404 of 2025 Present petition under Section 528 of BNSS for quashing of complaint No.79 dated 11.12.2008 (P-1) titled as “Surinder Kumar Vs. Narinder Singh and Others” under Sections 307, 323, 324, 341, 452, 427, 447, 506, 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959 alongwith all consequential proceedings as well as summoning order dated 15.10.2015 (P-3) passed by learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Patiala (for short ‘JMIC’) and also order dated 10.04.2017 (P-4) whereby revision petition against the aforesaid summoning order was dismissed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Patiala. (2) It transpires that on earlier occasion a similar petition bearing No. CRM-M-23336-2017 was filed by petitioner No. 2, but the same was dismissed as withdrawn on 11.01.2023 before Co-ordinate Bench and the order reads as under : “ Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the petitioner has been residing abroad, he seeks permission to withdraw the present petition, at this stage. Accordingly, this petition is ordered to be dismissed as withdrawn, at this stage.” (3) Also noteworthy that both petitioners were declared as proclaimed offenders by learned JMIC, way back on 30.05.2017 and this fact has not been disclosed by them. Also transpires that petitioners are residing in Canada; thus successfully evading the process of law. 2 KAVNEET SINGH 2025.07.03 18:40 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M No. 8404 of 2025 (O&M) (4) Apparently, there is an active concealment on the part of petitioners while not disclosing the order dated 30.05.2017, whereby they were declared as proclaimed offenders; thus petitioners have no respect for the rule of law. (5) In view of the above, present petition deserves to be dismissed with costs. (6) However, taking into consideration the old age of petitioners, present petition is dismissed without any costs. (7) The above observations be not construed as expression of opinion on the merits of case in any manner. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed off. 2ndJuly, 2025 ( MAHABIR SINGH SINDHU ) kavneet singh JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned Yes Whether Reportable No 3 KAVNEET SINGH 2025.07.03 18:40 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
