1 CRM-M-40914-2025 (O&M) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 132 CRM-M-40914-2025 (O&M) Date of Decision: July 31, 2025 Sweety ......Petitioner Vs. Raj Kumar ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE MANISHA BATRA Present: Mr.Onkar Rai, Advocate for the petitioner. ---- MANISHA BATRA J. (ORAL) 1. At the very outset, learned counsel for the petitioner restricts his relief to the extent of quashing of order dated 02.06.2025. 2. It is ordered accordingly. 3. The petitioner is challenging the order dated 02.06.2025 as passed by the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Hoshiarpur in CRA-30- 2024, whereby her bail had been cancelled and bail bonds were forfeited to the State due to her non-appearance on that particular date and non-bailable warrants were ordered to be issued against her. 4. It is argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner could not appear before the appellate Court on 02.06.2025 since learned appellate Court had been directed her to deposit 20% of the cheque amount and she could not arrange the same till that date. It is further submitted that her absence was not intentional. She is ready to join the proceedings before the trial Court and to abide by the terms and conditions to be imposed upon her, SONIA ARORA 2025.08.01 16:47 I agree to specified portions of this document 2 CRM-M-40914-2025 (O&M) therefore, it is urged that the instant petition be allowed and order dated 02.06.2025 be set aside. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner has also placed on record copy of order dated 16.07.2025 as passed by learned appellate Court, as per which fresh non-bailable warrants have been issued against the petitioner for 12.08.2025. 6. Though, this Court is of the considered opinion that there is no illegality or infirmity in the order dated 02.06.2025 as it was on account of non- appearance of the petitioner that her bail was cancelled and non-bailable warrants were ordered to be issued against her. 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 her into custody as she 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 on or before 12.08.2025 and it is further ordered that on her surrender and on moving appropriate application, the learned trial Court admit her to bail subject to her furnishing personal as well as surety bonds to its satisfaction. However, this petition shall be deemed to be dismissed if the petitioner does not abide by this order. 7. The arrest of the petitioner is stayed till the next date of hearing before the appellate Court. 8. Petition stands disposed of. SONIA ARORA 2025.08.01 16:47 I agree to specified portions of this document 3 CRM-M-40914-2025 (O&M) 9. A copy of this order be sent to the appellate Court.
