No.M-9926 of 2011 Date of Decision: 01.04.2011 Raman Kumar ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Ms. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur Present:- Mr. Sachin Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. ***** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C for setting aside the order dated 05.12.2009, vide which, the present petitioner has been declared proclaimed offender by the Court of Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Amritsar and has been declared innocent by the police on the basis of presentation of supplementary challan under Section 173(8) of the Cr.P.C on 10.01.2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner was declared proclaimed offender on 05.12.2009 by the Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Amritsar. Thereafter, the wife of the petitioner filed representation seeking fresh enquiry and also filed Crl. Misc. No.M-31222 of 2009. The same was disposed of with a direction to Senior Superintendent of Police, Amritsar Rural, to decide the representation of the petitioner within two Crl. Misc. No.M-9926 of 2011 2 months from the receipt of certified copy of this order. It is further contended that thereafter, fresh enquiry was conducted and the petitioner was found innocent. A supplementary challan under Section 173(8) of the Cr.P.C has been filed on 10.01.2011 to the said effect. Be that as it may, there is no explanation forthcoming as to why the petitioner did not surrender before the Court after the earlier challan was filed. In view of the above, at this stage, no ground to quash the order dated 05.12.2009 passed by Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Amritsar, is made out. However, in case, the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within ten days from the receipt of a copy of this order and files his application for bail, the same shall be decided within two days thereafter.
