IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH 146 CRM-M-48363-2025 (O&M) Date of decision:01.09.2025 Nirmal Dass @ Nimma ... Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab ... Respondent
CORAM:
HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE MANISHA BATRA. Present: Mr. Dipanshu Kapur, Advocate for the petitioner. ...
MANISHA BATRA, J. (ORAL).
1. Petitioner is seeking quashing of order dated 04.08.2025 as passed by the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, SBS Nagar in case arising out of FIR No.122, dated 25.07.2024, under Sections 21-B, 29 of the NDPS Act, registered at Police Station City Nawanshahr, District SBS Nagar, whereby his bail was cancelled on account of his non-appearance and his bonds/surety bonds were forfeited to the State and now warrants of arrest have been ordered to be issued against him for 16.09.2025 .
2. It is argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner had been regularly appearing before the learned trial Court but could not appear only on 04.08.2025 as he had noted down a wrong date. His absence was not intentional but due to some hearing problem due to which he could not note down the date properly. He is ready to abide by the terms and conditions to be imposed upon him and is willing to join the proceedings. It is, therefore, urged that the impugned order be quashed.

3. Notice of motion.
4. On the asking of the Court, Ms. Ramta Chowdhary, learned DAG, Punjab accepts notice and submits that there is no illegality in the impugned order. Hence , the present petition does not deserve to be allowed.
5. I have heard rival submissions made by learned counsel for the parties.
6. The petitioner had absented himself on 04.08.2025 due to which his bail was cancelled and bonds were forfeited to the State. Though, there is no illegality or infirmity in the impugned order, however, keeping in view the fact that he has approached this Court at the earliest possible stage and is ready to join the proceedings before the trial Court, the instant petition is
disposed of by directing him to surrender before the trial Court on or before 16.09.2025 i.e. the date already fixed. On his doing so, he shall be admitted to bail on his furnishing fresh personal/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
7.
Disposed of.
