Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Admittedly, petitioner was earlier enlarged on bail by the learned Trial Court, however, he could not appear on the subsequent dates and was declared proclaimed offender. The CRM M-35140 of 2010 reasoning given by the petitioner is that his parents had expired and he was under mental distress and could not appear before the Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner is in judicial custody since 11.10.2010. Considering totality of the circumstances, I direct that petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate concerned. January 21, 2011 ( Alok Singh ) vkd Judge 2
