CRM-M No. 22040 of 2011 **** Jatinder Kumar vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Rajeev K. Kapila, Advocate for the petitioner. **** This is a Petition for quashing the order dated 28.02.2011 vide which the petitioner was declared proclaimed offender. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner was being victimized on political grounds and in fact report Annexure P-2 exculpating the petitioner was also submitted by the inquiry officer. Be that as it may, the fact remains that all this action took place after the petitioner was declared a proclaimed offender. In the circumstances report Annexure P-2 would be of no avail for his absence. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the learned trial Court, the Court is directed to consider the report Annexure P-2 while considering the prayer of the petitioner for bail. With the above observations, the petition is dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE July 22, 2011 sunita
