CRM-M No. 30506 of 2011 **** Sardari Lal v. State of Punjab and another Present: Mr. Gurcharan Dass , Advocate for the petitioner. **** This is a petition for regular bail filed in Criminal Complaint No. 29 dated 7.1.2002, under Section 16(1)(a)(i) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 pending in the Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ludhiana. The contention of learned counsel is that the petitioner could not appear on one date because of ill health and the application for anticipatory bail was wrongly rejected by the learned Sessions Judge, Ludhiana as being not maintainable. Further as per learned counsel the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge of restoration of bail bonds is not legally tenable. In the circumstances in my considered opinion it would be in the interest of justice if this petition is disposed of with a direction that the petitioner shall surrender before the trial Court on the date fixed, move an application for bail and, in terms of the order of the learned Sessions Judge if his absence is found unintentional, would consider the same sympathetically and decide it on the same day. Ordered accordingly. Till then the arrest of the petitioner shall remain stayed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE October 05, 2011 sunita
