Respondent. Before: Hon'ble Mr. Justice R.S.Madan. Present: Mr.Vikas Cuccria, Advocate, for the petitioner. R.S.Madan, J. Notice of motion to the Standing Counsel, U.T. Chandigarh. Mr.Rajiv Sharma, Advocate, for U.T. Chandigarh, who is present in court accepts notice. This petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing of the FIR No.95 dated 8.5.2003 registered under Sections 380, 420, 468, 471, 120-B IPC at Police Station, Sector-19, Chandigarh. Petitioner further seeks exemption from personal appearance on the ground that he is a regular student and his appearance in court would adversely affect his academic career. Learned counsel for the respondent does not dispute the fact that the petitioner is a regular student. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I do not find any ground to quash the FIR. However, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, this petition is disposed of with a direction that in case the petitioner moves an application before the learned trial court to grant him exemption from personal appearance, the learned trial court may grant the same, however, subject to the conditions, that: (i) he will be Criminal Misc. No.11128/M of 2008. -2- represented through counsel (ii) will not delay/stall the trial proceedings, (iii) will not dispute his identity as accused and (iv) will have no objection if the prosecution evidence is also recorded in his absence but in the presence of his counsel, (v) shall keep on appearing before the trial court as and when required, (vi) and/ or any other conditions which the learned trial court may impose. 2.5.2008.
