In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, at Chandigarh. CRM-M-14554 of 2011 Decided on July 21,2011 Mohan Lal Sharma --Petitioner vs. State of Punjab --Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.R.S.Randhawa, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. A.S.Rai,DAG, Punjab. Rakesh Kumar Jain,J:(Oral) This is a petition for regular bail pending trial under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short,'Cr.P.C.') in a case registered vide FIR No.318 dated 11.11.1999, under Sections 406/420 of the IPC at Police Station Sadar Rajpura, District Patiala.. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he was granted bail but as he could not appear on the date fixed, therefore, his bail bonds and surety bonds were forfeited and his bail was cancelled. Learned State Counsel has submitted that the petitioner was declared proclaimed offender in this case, was arrested in some other case and has been produced in the present case before the trial Court on production warrant. He further submits that if bail is granted to the petitioner then there is likelihood of his absconding. He also submits that now the case is making progress because it is fixed today for recording of prosecution evidence. CRM-M-14554 of 2011 (O&M) -2- In this view of the matter and keeping in view the conduct and antecedents of the petitioner, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of bail to the petitioner when the prosecution evidence has started. Hence, this petition is dismissed. July 21,2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
