In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh. Criminal Misc. No.M-8198 of 2008 (O&M). Date of decision : 4.7.2008 Piara Singh ..... Petitioner. vs. State of Punjab and another ..... Respondent. Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal. Present: Mr.D.S.Pheruman, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.A.S.Brar, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, for respondent no.1. Mr.S.S.Randhawa, Advocate, for respondent no.2. Rajesh Bindal J. The petitioner in the present case is an accused in a complaint filed by respondent no.2 under Section 323, 427, 148, 149 IPC. He was facing trial since 22.2.2003. He appeared in the court on each and every date upto 28.11.2005, after he was released on bail. However, thereafter on account of the fact that his entire family was granted visa to Canada, he alongwith his wife and son went there. He had not taken permission from the court or intimated the court about his leaving the country. On account of his absence in the court on 21.3.2006, his bail bond was cancelled and warrants were issued. Thereafter, the petitioner voluntarily came back to India and applied for anticipatory bail before the court below on 21.11.2007, in which, though as interim measure, arrest of the petitioner was stayed but finally the application was dismissed. Keeping in view the fact that though the petitioner has gone abroad during trial without the permission of the court, but still the fact remains that he on his own came back to India and submitted to the jurisdiction of the court to face trial. On 29.11.2007, he has even furnished his fresh bail bond and surrendered his passport with the court. In view of the above facts, in my opinion, it is a fit case in which order dated 31.3.2008 should be made absolute. Ordered accordingly. The petition is disposed of. 4.7.2008 (Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
