S.B. Cr. Bail Application No. 1355/2008 (Devendra Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan) Date of order : 26.03.2008 HON'BLE MR.H.R.PANWAR,J. Mr. Srikant for the petitioner. Mr. J.P.S.Choudhary, P.P. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and public prosecutor for the State. Perused the order impugned. It appears from the order impugned that the petitioner failed to appear before the trial court from 16.12.2004 and ultimately he was declared absconder and has been arrested on 7.3.2008 after over a period of three years. It appears that because of absconding of the petitioner, the trial could not proceed. In the circumstances, therefore, in my view, it is not a fit case to release the petitioner on bail. The possibility cannot be ruled out that if the petitioner is released on bail, he would again abscond and trial would not proceed. The bail application filed by the petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is therefore, dismissed. The trial court is directed to expedite the trial of the case utmost expeditiously. (H.R.PANWAR), J. rp
