CRM-M No. 12721 of 2011 **** Arun Kumar vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. K.S.Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 57 dated 06.06.2009, under Section 13-A/3/67 of The Punjab Gambling Act, 1867, registered at Police Station Cantt Jalandhar, District Jalandhar. Learned counsel has argued tht the petitioner was regularly apearing in the Court but on one date viz. 13.02.2010 he absented as he had noted down the wrong date as 13.05.2010 instead of 13.02.2010. Consequently his bail was cancelled and bail bonds and surety bonds were forfeited. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the absence of the petitioner was entirely inadvertent. In my opinion it would be in the interest of justice if this application is dismissed but liberty is granted to the petitioner to surrender before the learned trial Court and move an application for regular bail stating all the facts. The learned trial Court is directed to decide the application for bail within two days in case the petitioner so surrenders. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE April 28, 2011 sunita
