139 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No.34811 of 2026 (O&M) Date of Decision:-22.07.2026 Harkamalpreet Singh …..Petitioner. Versus M/s Shri Ram Transport Finance Co. Ltd. .....Respondent. CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE VIKRAM AGGARWAL ***** Present:- Mr. Priyanshu Kamra, Advocate for the petitioner. VIKRAM AGGARWAL, J. (ORAL) CRM-29492-2026 This is an application moved under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short, ‘the BNSS’), seeking permission to place on record the copies of interlocutory orders passed by the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Fazilka as Annexures P-4. 2. For the reasons mentioned in the application, which is duly supported by an affidavit, the same is allowed and the documents (Annexures P-4) are taken on record, subject to all just exceptions. CRM-M-34811-2026 The present petition filed under Section 528 of the BNSS assails order dated 11.11.2024 (Annexure P-3) passed by the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Fazilka, in a criminal appeal having been filed by the petitioner against the judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 09.10.2024 passed by the Court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Abohar, vide which the petitioner was convicted under Section 138 of the YAG DUTT 2026.07.23 18:30 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment. CRM-M No.34811 of 2026 (O&M) -2- Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 01 year and 06 months apart from having been ordered to pay compensation amounting to Rs.14,74,023/-. Vide the impugned order, the appellate Court suspended the sentence of the petitioner, subject to deposit of 20% of the compensation amount. 2. Upon a query having been raised by the Court, learned counsel for the petitioner prayed for an adjournment to enable him to place on record all interlocutory orders passed by the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Fazilka, after the passing of the impugned order dated 11.11.2024. 3. The said orders have been placed on record today by way of a separate application. A perusal of the orders shows that after order dated 11.11.2024 having been passed, the petitioner has not been appearing before the Appellate Court and repeated non-bailable warrants are being issued to procure his presence. 4. Not only this, after the order having been passed by the Appellate Court on 11.11.2024, the instant petition has been instituted only in May, 2026. There is nothing on record to also show that at any point of time, the petitioner had given any statement that he was not in a position to pay the said amount. In fact, there was no contest to the payment of 20% of the compensation amount when the order was passed. 5. Keeping in view the conduct of the petitioner and the facts noticed above, the petition is found to be misconceived apart from being devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of. (VIKRAM AGGARWAL) July 22, 2026 JUDGE Yag Dutt Whether speaking/reasoned: Yes/No Whether Reportable: Yes/No YAG DUTT 2026.07.23 18:30 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment.
