IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-7954 of 2010 Date of Decision: March 30, 2010 Parveen .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. H.S. Dhindsa, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.228 dated 10.10.2003 under Sections 306, 494 IPC registered with Police Station, Tanda, District Hoshiarpur. I find that the petitioner was declared Proclaimed Offender on 25.4.2005. The petitioner could be arrested only on 1.10.2009. Learned counsel contends that the petitioner would be entitled to bail as appeal of the co-accused has been allowed and judgment of Crl. Misc. No. M-7954 of 2010 [2] conviction qua mother in law and father in law of the deceased has been set aside. I have considered the issue. The petitioner could be arrested only in October 2009. Since the petitioner delayed the process of law and fled from the clutches of law, no ground for grant of bail to the petitioner is made out. The petition is dismissed. The Trial Court is requested to dispose of the trial within a period of 5 months of the next date of hearing. (AJAI LAMBA) March 30, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
