NAWAB SINGH J.(ORAL) Challenge is to the order dated December 13 th, 2005 (Annexure P4) passed by Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Ludhiana, whereby, the petitioner was declared proclaimed offender in case First Information Report (for short `FIR') No.254 dated October 30 th, 2005 registered under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 in Police Station Basti Jodhewal, District Ludhiana. 2. The solitary submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner was not aware of the fact that the aforesaid case was registered against him. 3. The charge-sheet was filed against the petitioner. He was the registered owner of the vehicle, in which bags of poppy husk were being carried. No substantial material has been placed on record by the petitioner to prove his plea. In the circumstances, the trial Court had sufficient reason to believe that the petitioner had absconded or concealed himself to avoid the execution of warrants. 4. Hence, finding no ground to interfere in the impugned order, the petition is dismissed. December 08, 2011 ( NAWAB SINGH ) `gian' JUDGE
