CRM-M-15966-2025(O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 136 CRM-M-15966-2025(O&M) Date of Decision: 24.03.2025 DEEPAK ....Petitioner VERSUS STATE OF PUNJAB ....Respondent CORAM : HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE MANISHA BATRA Present : Mr. Rishu Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Ruchika Sabherwal, Sr. DAG, Punjab. MANISHA BATRA, J. (Oral) 1. The instant petition has been filed by the petitioner for quashing/setting aside the order dated 06.11.2024 (Annexure P-1) passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar in case arising out of FIR No.118 dated 22.05.2023 registered under Sections 336, 307, 212, 216, 34 of IPC and under Section 25 of Arms Act, 1959 at Police Station Mazboolpura, Amritsar, whereby his bail was cancelled and his personal bonds and surety bonds were forfeited to the State. Now non-bailable warrants of arrest have been ordered to be issued against him for 19.05.2025. 2. It is inter alia contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner could not appear on 06.11.2024 on account of having stomach infection. His absence was not intentional or deliberate. He is ready to join the proceedings before the learned trial Court and to abide by terms and conditions to be imposed upon him, therefore, prayer has been made for allowing the present petition.

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 petitioner at this stage to grant the petitioner 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 him into custody as he is 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 within a period of 15 days and it is further ordered that on his surrender and on moving appropriate application, the learned trial Court shall admit him to bail subject to his furnishing personal as well as surety bonds to its satisfaction and subject to deposit of cost of Rs.5000/- with District Legal Services Authority, Amritsar. However, this petition shall be deemed to be dismissed if the petitioner does not abide by this order. Petition stands disposed of, accordingly. ( MANISHA BATRA ) 24.03.2025 JUDGE Deepak Patwal 1.
