JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: - Mr. Rahul Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) This is an application seeking anticipatory bail in criminal complaint No.17/1 dated 25.2.2004 under Section 409 IPC pending in the Court of Sh. Harbans Singh Lekhi, Samrala. Record reveals that petitioner was summoned by the summoning court vide order dated 31.7.2006 to face trial for the commission of offence punishable under Section 409 IPC. Perusal of the petition does not show sufficient explanation as to why petitioner could not appear before the summoning Court despite of the fact summoning order was passed almost five years before on 31.7.2006. It seems that petitioner was avoiding his arrest for the last five years, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of discretionary relief of anticipatory bail. Dismissed.
