CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL Present: Mr. Manoj Pundir, Advocate, Mr. Aditya Pratap Singh, Advocate and Mr. Puneet Munjal, Advocate for the petitioner. **** H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL)
1. This petition has been filed under Section 528 of BNS for quashing of order dated 16.05.2025 (Annexure P-8) passed by the ld. Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Hansi in FIR No. 479 dated 22.07.2017 under Sections 170,406,420 of IPC registered at Police Station Hansi City, Hissar vide which the petitioner has been declared as proclaimed person.
2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court on 30.05.2024 as he was unwell. As such the learned trial Court cancelled the bail orders of the petitioner and his bail bonds and surety bonds were ordered to be forfeited. Non-bailable warrants of arrest against the petitioner have been issued. He submits that there has been non-com- pliance of the provisions of Section 82 of Cr.P.C. and hence, the impugned order dated 16.05.2025 declaring the petitioner a proclaimed person deserves to be set aside. He further contends that the petitioner may be permitted to surrender be- fore the learned trial Court to attend the trial proceedings regularly and, Renu Rawat 2025.07.12 15:37 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

3. Notice of motion.
4. Ms. Ankita Ahuja, AAG, Haryana appears and accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State.
5. I have heard the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and gone through the case file.
6. In view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order dated 16.05.2025 (Annexure P-8) passed by the ld. Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Hansi. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within 07 days from today and move an application for grant of regular bail, on his doing so, the trial Court shall consider and decide the same on the same day.
7. Petition stands disposed of.
