Furthermore, the petitioner was skeptical and apprehensive that if he approaches the Court again, he would be taken into custody and hence he chose not to appear 23.07.2025 onwards. As such the learned trial Court vide order dated 24.10.2025(Annexuare P-9) again declared him as a proclaimed offender. He further prays that the petitioner is ready and willing to join the proceedings before the Court and the impugned order 24.10.2025 (Annexure P-9) passed by learned Addl.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties 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 24.10.2025 passed by ld. Addl. Sessions Court, Ludhiana. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within a period of 07 days from today and moves an application for grant of regular bail, on his doing so, the trial Court is directed to consider and decide the same within a period of 03 days. 7. With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of.
