Crl.M.No.M-18520 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-18520 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: July 2, 2010 Devinder Singh alias Happy .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.C.L.Pawar, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.140, dated 5.7.2009, under Sections 307, 353, 279, 186, 332, 427, 34 IPC, and 25, 27, 54, 59 of the Arms Act, registered at Police Station Gobindgarh, District Fatehgarh Sahib. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Petitioner was on bail and facing trial. However, he absented from the Court on 4.6.2010, when the case was fixed for evidence of prosecution. Though an application for his personal exemption was moved, however, the same was not accepted as only one OPD slip was produced and learned trial Court came to the conclusion that the same was a procured one, as even the ailment allegedly suffered by the petitioner was not clear. Hence, his bail bonds were cancelled and to secure his presence non- bailable warrants were issued. However, even then the petitioner did not appear before learned trial Court and rather he filed this petition. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Devinder Singh alias Happy for grant of anticipatory bail is not Crl.M.No.M-18520 of 2010 (O&M) -2- maintainable. The present petition is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. Petitioner is directed to appear before learned trial Court within two weeks from today and in case he so appears before learned trial Court and applies for regular bail, the same be decided by it on merit on the same day after giving notice to the State. 2.7.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
