On asking of the Court, Mr. Sumit Jain, Addl. A.G., Haryana accepts notice on behalf of respondent-State. 5. 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 20.02.2025 without any valid reason. 6. After hearing counsel for the petitioner and perusing the record, it is apparent that the petitioner remained absent on 20.02.2025 and his bail was cancelled. Now, the petitioner is keen to join the proceedings. So keeping in view the abovesaid facts, the present petition is disposed of and the impugned order dated 20.02.2025 is set aside subject to payment of Rs.15,000/- as costs to be paid to the ‘Spinal Rehab Centre, Chandigarh, Plot No.1, Madhya Marg, Sector-28/A, Chandigarh’ by the petitioner within one week from today. In case, the petitioner appears and surrenders 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. POOJA SHARMA 2025.04.23 13:19 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-20737-2025 3 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 20.02.2025 would come in force and the present petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed. 22.04.2025 ( RAJESH BHARDWAJ ) ps-I JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned : Yes/No Whether reportable : Yes/No POOJA SHARMA 2025.04.23 13:19 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
