After having been arrested on 24.6.2011, no evidence has been produced. It has also been informed that the other co-accused of the petitioner are also proclaimed offenders. The petitioner had also allegedly gone abroad, for which reason, he did not appear before the court. After taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is of the opinion that the period of detention suffered by the petitioner will certainly have a Crl. Misc. No. M-31320 of 2011 (O&M) -2- deterrent effect upon him not to abscond again. The petitioner has been in custody w.e.f. 24.6.2011.
