CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE NAWAB SINGH Present: Mr. Akshay Bhan, Advocate for the petitioner. NAWAB SINGH, J. (ORAL) By filing this petition, petitioner seeks quashing of First Information Report No.222 dated May 28th, 2003 under Section 406,420 etc. of the Indian Penal Code and 27 of the Arms Act, Police Station Mohali, District SAS Nagar, Mohali and setting aside of the order dated January 15th, 2009 (Annexure P2) passed by Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Mohali the aforesaid FIR, whereby he was declared proclaimed offender. At the outset, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that he does not press for quashing of FIR, so, the same be dismissed as not pressed. He confines his prayer only qua the order dated January 15th, 2009 (Annexure P2). It has been pleaded that petitioner regularly appeared before the trial Court for a period of six years. During trial, the matter was compromised with the complainant as is evident from the affidavit (Annexure P1). Petitioner was not aware of the date of hearing because his counsel left India. In view of above, it is ordered that petitioner shall appear before the trial Court on or before August 8th, 2011 and move an application for bail and the trial Court shall admit him to bail to its satisfaction. Consequently, the petition is partly accepted and the impugned order (Annexure P2) is set aside. Disposed of. (NAWAB SINGH) JUDGE 27.07.2011. Ishwar
