JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI -.- Present: Mr. Karanjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. in case F.I.R. No.296 dated 19.11.2009 registered under Sections 379, 411 IPC at Police Station City, Tarn Taran. It is stated that regular bail of the petitioner has been cancelled due to his default of appearance before the learned trial Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that this was the first time that the petitioner defaulted in appearance and that was only because of the fact that his Aunt (Bua) died on that very date on 20.10.2010. In the circumstances, this petition is disposed of with the CRM No.M-4249 of 2011(O&M) -2- direction to the learned trial Court that in case the petitioner surrenders before the learned trial Court within one week his application for regular bail shall be decided on the same date keeping in mind that the petitioner has never defaulted in appearance and this non-appearance was caused by the sudden demise of his aunt.
