It is contended that the petitioner was on anticipatory bail. Thereafter, he was declared proclaimed offender. However, it is stated that the petitioner is now ready to appear before the trial Court. Since the petitioner is absconded and declared proclaimed offender, no ground for anticipatory bail is made out. However, in case, the petitioner appears before the trial Court within ten days from today and files an application for regular bail, the same shall be decided within a week. The petitioner shall not be arrested for ten days. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) 28.07.2010 JUDGE gurpreet
