IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-36558 of 2009 Date of decision : 18.2.2010 Satpal …. Petitioner Versus State of Haryana …. Respondent Present: Mr. Ramesh Chahal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajeev K. Takkar, Addl. A.G., Haryana. **** S.S. SARON, J. The petitioner seeks regular bail in a case registered against him on 20.6.2000 for the offences under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC. The petitioner was granted bail in the case on 22.8.2000. Thereafter, he absconded and was declared a Proclaimed Offender. He was arrested on 30.5.2009 and since then he is in custody. It is submitted that co-accused of the petitioner namely Sunil, Sanjay, Jagdish and Ramdiya have been acquitted by the learned trial Court on 12.5.2009. The learned Additional Sessions Judge, Jind vide order dated 15.12.2009 (Annexure P1) while declining bail to the petitioner observed that though the other co-accused had been acquitted but the petitioner had jumped his bail and if he is released on bail, he might again abscond which would delay the trial. Crl. Misc. No. M-36558 of 2009 [2] Learned State counsel has submitted that eleven PWs have been examined and eight are yet to be examined. The case is fixed for recording the evidence on 22.2.2010. In the circumstances, the trial in the case is going on. It is hoped that the learned trial Court would complete the trial expeditiously. In the facts and circumstances, no ground for bail is made out and the Crl. Misc. petition is, accordingly, dismissed. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE February 18, 2010 amit
