Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ................................... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Ms. Justice Ritu Bahri 1.To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. P.P.S.Duggal, Advocate for the petitioners. ... RITU BAHRI, J. (Oral) Notice of motion. On asking of the Court, Mr. Raghubir Chaudhary, Sr. DAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the State. Counsel for the petitioners is directed to supply copy of the petition to the counsel for the State today itself during the course of the day. This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for setting aside the order dated 26.3.2011 passed by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Ferozepur, by which the Crl. Rev. No. 994 of 2011 (O&M) [ 2 ] petitioners have been declared as Proclaimed offenders in FIR No.82 dated 24.10.2010 under Sections 395, 148/149 IPC registered at Police Station Kulgarhi, District Ferozepur. A perusal of the impugned order dated 26.3.2011 vide which the petitioners have been declared Proclaimed Offenders, shows that it is nowhere mentioned whether the petitioners were aware with regard to proceedings initiated against them or any efforts were made by the Court to effect any service upon them. Admittedly, nothing has been mentioned in the impugned order that the petitioners have wilfully disobeyed the orders of the court and remained absent. Since the petitioners are ready to surrender before the Court and to join Court proceedings, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to surrender before the trial Court within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order. In case, they surrender before the trial Court, they shall be released on interim bail by the trial Court subject to furnishing of bail bonds and surety bonds to its satisfaction. 3.5.2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Rupi JUDGE
