State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Ms. G.K. Mann, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J.(ORAL) In a trial of 2003, the petitioner seeks the concession of pre- arrest bail apprehending arrest on account of non-bailable warrants issued due to his absence on October 15, 2009. Petitioner claims that he remained confined in jail from November 18, 2009 to August 11, 2010 on account of which he was unable to appear. While dismissing the application of pre-arrest bail, the Additional Sessions Judge, Moga, has considered the circumstance that the Crl. Misc. No.M-18317 of 2011 [2] petitioner was released on bail on August 11, 2010 but he did not take any step to appear before the Court and had misused the concession of bail. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances in this case, no extra-ordinary exceptional circumstances exist to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Dismissed. However, dismissal of this petition will not prejudice the rights of the petitioner to surrender before the trial Court and seek concession of regular bail by informing the Court the circumstances of non-appearance before the trial Court. It will be open to the trial Court to grant the concession of regular bail to the petitioner. It will be appreciated in case the said application is decided within a period of 10 days after filing of the same. July 21, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
