State of U.T., Chandigarh .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Tarunveer Vashisth, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.63103 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-35524 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.101, dated 28.5.2007, under Section 61 of Excise Act, registered at Police Station Sector 31, Chandigarh. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Chandigarh, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Brief facts are that petitioner-accused was released on bail vide order dated 7.3.2008. However, he jumped bail and did not appear before the Court on 29.10.2008. He continued absenting from the Court despite his warrants of arrest issued several time by the Court. He was declared proclaimed offender by learned trial Court vide order dated 30.4.2010 and after concluding of proceedings under Section 299 Cr.P.C., the file was also consigned to the record room by learned trial Court. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of Crl.M.No.M-35524 of 2010 (O&M) -2- anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. In view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Kulwinder Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 3.12.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
