IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-13814 of 2010 Date of Decision: May 12, 2010 Karma .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Amit Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.44 dated 15.3.2008 under Sections 307, 353, 186, 323, 506, 34 IPC, registered with Police Station, Fatehgarh Sahib. It transpires that the petitioner was on bail. The petitioner was required to appear on 26.4.2010. The petitioner, however, sent an application for exemption from personal appearance through his wife. The reason for claiming exemption was that one of the close Crl. Misc. No. M-13814 of 2010 [2] relatives had expired and the petitioner had gone to attend his last rites. Neither details of the relationship nor the name of the relative had been mentioned. On a query of the Court, learned counsel for the petitioner has informed the Court that it is the 3rd time that the petitioner sought exemption. Stage of the trial is of recording prosecution evidence. Conduct of the petitioner has delayed process of trial. Conditions of bail have been violated. I find no infirmity in order dated 26.4.2010 passed by the Trial Court whereby the bail bond and surety bond of the petitioner have been cancelled and forfeited to the State, and the petitioner has been summoned through non bailable warrants of arrest. Notice to surety has been issued. The petition is accordingly dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) May 12, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2.
