JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.T.P.Singh , Advocate, for the petitioner. **** SABINA, J. This petition has been filed by Jujhar Singh under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 337 dated 5.12.2005, under Sections 382, 34, 392 (added later on) of the Indian Penal Code registered at Police Station Nawanshahr, District Nawanshahr. The petitioner absented during trial on 30.10.2007 and was declared a proclaimed offender on 24.12.2007. As per Annexure P-1, the petitioner was suffering from Hepatitis-C and was under treatment for one month. OPD No. 5049 was issued on 29.9.2008. However, there is nothing on record to suggest that the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court on 30.10.2007 or thereafter due to any medical illness up to 29.9.2008. Hence, no ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) March 26, 2009 JUDGE anita
