JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL Present: Mr. Rao Ajender Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. **** H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1. This petition has been filed under Section 482 of BNSS (Section 438 Cr.P.C) for grant of pre-arrest / anticipatory bail to the petitioner against order dated 24.04.2025 whereby non-bailable warrants had been issued against him in FIR No. 09 dated 14.01.2023 under Sections 148,149,323,324,325,447,427 of IPC (Sections 191(3), 190, 115(2), 118(1), 117(2), 329(3), 324 (4) of BNS) registered at Police Station Kosli, District Rewari. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not appear before the learned trial Court on 24.04.2025 as he had to return to Saudi Arabia in connection with his employment. It is further submitted that the petitioner had duly informed his counsel of his inability to attend the proceedings and had requested him to move an application seeking exemption from personal appearance. However, when the case was taken up, no one appeared on behalf of the petitioner. Consequently, the learned trial Court cancelled the bail granted to the petitioner, ordered forfeiture of his bail bonds RENU RAWAT 2026.07.14 17.22 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh CRM-M-37227-2026 and surety bonds, and issued non-bailable warrants of arrest against him. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is ready and willing to surrender before the learned trial Court and undertakes to appear on each and every date of hearing, unless exempted in accordance with law. He, therefore, prays that the impugned order be set aside and the petitioner be permitted to surrender before the learned trial Court and participate in the trial proceedings regularly. 3. Notice of motion. 4. On the asking of the Court, Mr. Rakesh Kumar Jangra, AAG, Haryana 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 petitioner, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order dated 24.04.2025 passed by the learned SDJM, Kosli. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the ld. Court below within 07 days from today and appears at 10:00 A.M, his application for grant of regular bail shall be considered and disposed of by the ld.Court below within a period of three days. 7.
