IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.No. M-6210 of 2010 Date of decision:- 09.3.2010 Surjit Singh @ Manjit Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing the order dated 16.2.2010 (Annexure P-9) passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jalandhar, vide which learned Court dismissed the application, filed by the petitioner for extending time to stay in foreign country for a period of 6 months in case FIR No.404 dated 20.12.2007, under Sections 420,467,468 and 471 IPC and under Section 12 of Passport Act, registered at Police Station Division No.4, Jalandhar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed on record another medical certificate dated 04.03.2010 issued by Dr. M.Murugan, General Practitioner, Hednesford Valley Health Centre, Station Road, Hednesford, WS124DH, which is taken on record. It has been averred that though petitioner was having old head injury, suffered in April 2007 and that however he suffered another injury due to fall off the snow on 28.1.2010 and hence he had been advised by the medical officer not to travel abroad for the time being. It is further contended that the next date fixed before the learned trial Court is Criminal Misc.No. M-6210 of 2010 -2- 17.3.2010 and that its stay be extended only for one month more and that he will appear before the learned trial Court on or before 17.4.2010. It is further contended that he is having no objection if the proceedings before the learned trial Court are continued in his absence as are being continued earlier. Hence, in view of these facts and in view of the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner, the present petition is disposed of with the direction to learned trial Court to extend the stay of present petitioner-accused Surjit Singh @ Manjit Singh abroad upto 17.4.2010. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. March 09, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
