JUSTICE H.S. GREWAL Present : Mr. Surinder Garg, Advocate for the petitioner. **** H.S. GREWAL, J. (Oral) 1. This petition has been filed under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023/482 Cr.P.C., seeking quashing of order dated 04.10.20925 (P-11) passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Chandigarh in complaint NACT No.570/2024 dated 18.01.2024 registered on 19.01.2024 under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the trial Court, without following the procedure prescribed under Section 82 Cr.P.C., declared the petitioner a proclaimed person vide the impugned order, which is unsustainable under the law. Learned counsel also submits that the petitioner undertakes to appear before the trial Court concerned on each and every date and would not absent himself without prior permission of the trial Court. It is, therefore, prayed that the petitioner may be permitted to surrender before the learned trial Court to attend the trial proceedings continuously and the impugned order may be set aside. CRM-M-16431-2026 -2- 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and gone through the case file. 4. In view of the facts and circumstances of this case, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere with the impugned order. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner that in case, he surrenders before the trial Court within 07 days from today at 10:00 AM and moves an application for grant of bail, the same shall be considered and decided by the trial Court on the very same day in accordance with law. 5. With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of. (H.S.
