The instant petition has been filed for quashing of impugned order dated 24.07.2025 (Annexure P-3) passed by learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Panchkula whereby the bail earlier granted to the petitioner was cancelled, his bail bonds were forfeited to the State and non- bailable warrants of arrest were issued against him. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended the impugned order passed by the learned trial Court is wholly unsustainable in the eyes of law. It was argued that the petitioner had been regularly appearing before the Court ever since the grant of bail on 12.05.2022 and whenever he could not attend the proceedings, exemption applications were duly filed and allowed. On 24.07.2025, the petitioner could not appear due to the sudden demise of his mother-in-law and had to attend condolence ceremony. It was further contended that the absence of the petitioner was neither deliberate nor willful, but on account of circumstances beyond his control.
