On asking of the Court, Mr. Raghubir Chaudhary, Sr. DAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the State. Counsel for the petitioner 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 petitioner has been declared as proclaimed offender in FIR Crl. Rev. No. 880 of 2011 (O&M) [ 2 ] No. 82 dated 24.10.2010 under Section 395, 148/149 IPC registered at Kulgarhi, District Ferozepur. A perusal of the impugned order dated 26.3.2011 vide which the petitioner has been declared Proclaimed Offender, shows that it is nowhere mentioned whether the petitioner was aware with regard to proceedings initiated against him or any efforts were made by the Court to effect any service upon him. Admittedly, nothing has been mentioned in the impugned order that the petitioner has willfully 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, he surrenders before the trial Court, he shall be released on interim bail by the trial Court subject to furnishing of bail bonds and surety bonds to its satisfaction. 19.4.2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Rupi JUDGE
