No. 14684-M of 2009 2 Although, learned counsel for the petitioner has not apprised the court in regard to the appearance of the petitioner, however, learned counsel for the respondent has produced certified copy of order dated 16.11.2009, which is taken on record as Annexure A-1. As per the order (Annexure A-1), the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Hoshiarpur, has recorded that he is satisfied that the accused cannot be served through ordinary manner and be summoned through proclamation, for 28.1.2010.

Even on a query raised by this court, no reply was given. The petitioner is not entitled to any relief under Section 482, Code of Criminal Procedure. The petition is dismissed.
