JUSTICE RAJESH BHARDWAJ Present :- Mr. Gurmehar Singh Minhas, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BHARDWAJ , J. (Oral) 1. Prayer in the present petition is for quashing of order dated 17.05.2022 (Annexure P-3), vide which the petitioner was declared as proclaimed person in FIR No.35 dated 10.03.2019 under Sections 323, 324, 148, 149 and 201 of IPC, registered at Police Station Adampur, District Jalandhar. 2. It has been contended by counsel for the petitioner that in the above said case, the complainant in the present case was expired and during trial his examination could not be recorded and there were two more eye-witnesses to the alleged occurrence who also did not support the version of the prosecution. He submits that thereafter, the petitioner was under impression that there is no criminal liability pending against him and he went to Dubai for his livelihood and because of this reason, he could not appear before the concerned Court and was declared proclaimed person on 17.05.2022. He submits that now the petitioner is keen to join the proceedings and abide by the terms and conditions of bail, imposed by the Court. 3. Notice of motion. 4. On asking of the Court, Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Addl.A.G., Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State. POOJA SHARMA 2025.05.29 19:56 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document learned counsel for the petitioner and has stated that the trial Court has rightly declared the petitioner as proclaimed person vide its order dated 17.05.2022. 6. After hearing counsel for the parties and perusing the record, it is apparent that the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court and was declared a proclaimed person as he was in Dubai but his absence was not intentional and now 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 17.05.2022 is set aside subject to payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs to be deposited in the ‘Spinal Rehab Centre, Chandigarh, Plot No.1, Madhya Marg, Sector-28/A, 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 17.05.2022 would automatically come in force. 29.05.2025 ( RAJESH BHARDWAJ ) ps-I JUDGE Whether speaking/reasoned : Yes/No Whether reportable : Yes/No POOJA SHARMA 2025.05.29 19:56 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
