IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-31077 of 2008 Date of decision : 27.11.2008 Baltej Singh .....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr.G.S. Kaura, Advocate for the petitioner S. D. ANAND, J. The only argument advocated by the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the invalid issuance of non bailable warrants against the petitioner in case FIR No. 1 dated 5.1.2007 under Sections 336, 148, 149, 506 IPC constituted a valid ground to justify the refrain on the part of the petitioner in entering appearance in the other case. In that context, it is pointed out that the petitioner succeeded in obtaining the invalidation of the order passed by the Court in case FIR No.100 dated 27.12.2005 under Sections 336, 148, 149 IPC and 25/54/59 of Arms Act. The plea is completely devoid of merit. Each case is independent in character. Even if it is assumed for the sake of argument that Non bailable warrants came to be invalidly issued against the petitioner in an another case, it would not justify his non-entering appearance as accused in other case. That the petitioner could obtain a declaration of invalidity of the issuance of coercive process against him in the other case is an altogether different facet. Dismissed. November 27, 2008 (S. D.
