IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No.31836 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: October 19, 2011 Tarlochan Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr.Manish Soni, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner is facing trial under the N.D.P.S.Act in an FIR, which is registered against him in the year 2008. The petitioner did not appear on one date and had moved an application seeking exemption from his personal appearance. Actually, the reason is that he was involved in another FIR where his prayer for anticipatory bail had been rejected. The Court declined to grant exemption prayed for and issued non-bailable warrants. The petitioner has accordingly filed the present petition for quashing of this order. Counsel prays that the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court for the reasons beyond his control and as such seeks permission to surrender before the court and to participate in the trial. It was because of his own fault that the petitioner did not appear before the Court. The petitioner cannot take advantage of his own wrong once he is getting himself involved in one case after another. The petitioner has to surrender before the court and suffer the consequences. He did not appear as he was bound to be arrested. In order to safeguard his interest, the petitioner did not appear on the date fixed. This petition is, thus, dismissed.
