Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Petitioner was convicted and sentenced to undergo RI for two years for the offence under Section 392,m34 IPC by the learned trial Court. He preferred an appeal and during the course of hearing of that appeal on 2.6.2010, the petitioner absented himself resulting into cancellation of his bail bonds and issuance of non-bailable warrants. Hence the present petition under Section 438 Cr.PC for grant of anticipatory bail. It is submitted that reason for non-appearance of the petitioner on 2.6.2010 was that his five year old son was admitted in Rajindra Hospital,Patiala. Reference has been made to Annexures P4 and P5 which show that son of the petitioner namely Akshit was admitted in the Department of Paediatric Surgery, Rajindra Hospital,Patiala. Notice of motion. At the asking of the Court, Mr.Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala,AAG Punjab, who is present in Court accepts notice. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it expedient and in the interest of justice to permit the petitioner to join proceedings before the learned Appellate Court. Accordingly, present petition is disposed of with a direction that in case the petitioner surrenders before the appellate Court on or before 1.9.2010, on his furnishing fresh bail bonds, he shall be admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the learned appellate Court. 18.8.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
