Criminal Misc. No.10088/M of 2008. -1- In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh. Date of decision : 28.4.2008. Amarinder Singh ..... Petitioner. vs. State of U.T., Chandigarh ..... Respondent. Before: Hon'ble Mr. Justice R.S.Madan. Present: Mr.Vikas Cuccria, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Ram Pal Verma, Advocate for Mr.Rajiv Sharma, Advocate, for U.T. Chandigarh. R.S.Madan, J. This petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. has been filed for quashing of the FIR No.95 dated 9.5.2003 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. Notice of motion was issued and in response thereto, learned counsel for the respondent has put in appearance who 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 represented through counsel (ii) will not delay/stall the trial proceedings, Criminal Misc. No.10088/M of 2008. -2- (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. 28.4.2008.
