Pooja Puri ....Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and another ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER Present:- Mr. C.M.Munjal, Advocate for the petitioner MAHESH GROVER, J This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C praying for quashing of order dated 26.4.2011 whereby petitioner has been declared proclaimed offender under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. On due consideration of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that the petitioner being a proclaimed offender and a fugitive from law needs to submit herself to the jurisdiction of learned Trial Court as also the process of law. No indulgence or leniency can be given to a person who is absconding from the process of law. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is willing to surrender and submit herself to the jurisdiction of the learned Trial Court. Having regard to the aforesaid, this petition is disposed of with an observation that in the eventuality of the petitioner submitting herself to the jurisdiction of the Trial Court on or before 23.9.2011 and upon her making a prayer for bail, the same shall be considered by the learned Trial Court on the very same date and in the eventuality of it coming to the Crl. Misc. No.M-26721 of 2011 (O&M) 2 conclusion that the petitioner deserves such a concession, it shall grant the bail subject to adequate surety considering the fact that the petitioner is a proclaimed offender and is also keeping in mind that such surety should be sufficient to obviate the chances of any future default. Trial Court is also free to impose any other condition upon the petitioner. September 5 , 2011 (Mahesh Grover) rekha Judge
