IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-21517 of 2009 (O/M). Date of Decision : August 24, 2009. Abdul Rehman. ...... Petitioner . Versus. State of Haryana. ..... Respondent . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH. Present:- Mr. Jamshed Ahmed, Advocate, for the petitioner . AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL). In the present case, the application is for grant of anticipatory bail in a case where the petitioner had failed to appear before the Court, where a criminal case was pending against him, although, he was released on bail. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner could not reach the Court on time because of civil litigation, which was pending in the Court of Civil Judge (Junior Division)-cum-J.M.I.C., Ferozepur Jhirka, on 11.06.2009. He had gone there to attend the proceedings of the case, which was fixed for arguments. Copy of the order dated 11.06.2009, passed by the Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ferozpur Jhirka, has been appended as Annexure-P-2. Perusal of the order does not indicate that the petitioner was present at Ferozepur Jhirka. Further perusal of the order indicates that the case was called several times since morning but none had put in appearance on his behalf and even no request was made on his behalf before the Trial Court. The order further indicates that two prosecution witnesses were present and could not be examined because on non-appearance of the petitioner. No ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Dismissed. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE August 24, 2009. sjks.
