1 S.B.CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.362/2007 (Sukhjinder Singh @ Kaka Vs. State) Date of order : 11.9.2007 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. Devendra Singh, for the appellant. Mrs. Vidhyawati Boda, Public Prosecutor. Heard learned counsel for the appellant. By way of filing the present appeal, the appellant is challenging the order dated 23.3.2007 passed by Special Judge, N.D.P.S. Cases, Sriganganagar in Criminal Misc. Case No.161/2006 whereby due to non- appearance of appellant, his bail bonds were forfeited and it was ordered that amount of Rs.20,000/- of his personal bond may be recovered from him. It appears from the facts narrated in the appeal that the appellant was lodged in sub-jail Fajilka on the relevant date, i.e. 2.9.2006, therefore, he did not appear before the Court. The trial court while rejecting the plea of the appellant passed an order for recovery of Rs.20,000/-. In the interest of justice, while modifying the impugned order dated 23.3.2007, the appellant is directed to deposit Rs.2500/- instead of Rs.20,000/- as ordered by trial Court. 2 With the aforesaid observations and directions, this appeal stands disposed of.
