IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-34613 of 2009 Date of decision : 8.12.2009 Randhir Singh …. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab …. Respondent Present: Mr. S.S. Rangi, Advocate for the petitioner. **** S.S. SARON, J. The present petition has been filed seeking pre-arrest bail. It is submitted that the petitioner had been granted regular bail in the case vide order dated 28.7.2006 (Annexure P2) passed by the learned Judge, Special Court, Nawanshahar. However, he could not be present on 8.10.2009 before the Judge, Special Court, Nawanshahar and he through his counsel submitted an application (Annexure P3) seeking exemption which had been declined vide order dated 8.10.2009 (Annexure P4). According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner had been appearing on each date of hearing. However, he could not appear on 8.10.2009 as he had gone to Panipat where he fell ill. Despite asking as to where the petitioner was at Panipat and from whom he got his statement recorded of his illness, learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to give any answer. It is only stated that the petitioner is a driver and he had gone to Panipat where he fell ill. The same is mere a bald assertion without any material whatsoever to substantiate the same. In the circumstances, the Crl. Misc. No. M-34613 of 2009 [2] learned Judge, Special Court, Nawanshahar has rightly declined the application (Annexure P3) for grant of bail vide order dated 8.10.2009 (Annexure P4). Consequently, at this stage, learned counsel prays that he may be allowed to withdraw the present petition with liberty to file a fresh one by giving necessary and better particulars. Dismissed as withdrawn at this stage. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE December 8, 2009 amit
