Prayer in the present petition is for quashing of impugned order dated 10.01.2025 passed by Ld. ADJ/MACT/AA/ASJ/JSC., Bathinda, in case No.CNR No.PBBT010043882021 in CIS SC No.204/2021 titled as State of Punjab Vs.

Learned State counsel has opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner and has stated that the trial Court has rightly cancelled the bail granted of the petitioner who remained absent on 10.01.2025 without any valid reason. 6. After hearing counsel for the parties and perusing the record, it is apparent that the petitioner remained absent on 10.01.2025 and his bail was cancelled and bail bonds were forfeited to the State and non- bailable warrants were issued against him. The reason for his absence was given that he noted down the wrong date of hearing. The petitioner is keen to join the proceedings. So keeping in view the abovesaid facts, the present petition is disposed of and the order dated 10.01.2025 is set aside subject to payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs to be deposited in the ‘Day Care Centre for Elderly Disabled in home for old & Destitute People, Sector-15 Chandigarh’ by the petitioner in one week from today. In case, the petitioner appears before the Court concerned within a period of 10 days from today and files an application for bail alongwith receipt of abovesaid costs, the Court concerned is directed to admit him to bail subject to its satisfaction and proceed with the trial in accordance with law. He will have protection from arrest for a period of 10 days from today. 7. Needless to say that in case the petitioner fails to comply with the abovesaid direction, he will have no benefit of abovesaid protection granted by this Court and order under challenge dated 10.01.2025 would automatically come in force. 09.04.2025 ( RAJESH BHARDWAJ ) ps-I JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned : Yes/No Whether reportable : Yes/No POOJA SHARMA 2025.04.09 16:16 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
