State of Punjab and another .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. Yogesh Goel, Advocate for the petitioner. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J.(Oral) Crl. Misc. No.19362 of 2011 Allowed as prayed for. Crl. Misc. No. M-10520 of 2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner inter-alia contends that the petitioner was attending the Court proceedings before the trial Court regularly and only on one date, i.e., 31.1.2011 due to mistake of the date, he could not appear and his bail bonds and surety bonds were cancelled by the trial Court without issuing any notice. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that trial is prolonging for the last long time and no witness was present and moreover on that day also, appearance of the petitioner was not required. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that non- appearance of the petitioner was neither intentional nor wilful but due to wrong noting down of the date, he could not appear on that day and moreover, the petitioner is ready to appear before the trial Court and join the Court proceedings. Heard the arguments of learned counsel for the petitioner and Crl. Misc. No. M-10520 of 2011 (O&M) -2- have perused the zimni orders which are on record. As per statement made by learned counsel for the petitioner and on perusal of the record, it is clear that the petitioner was appearing before the trial Court regularly except one or two dates and earlier his application for exemption of personal appearance was also allowed. Only on one date, i.e., 31.1.2011, he could not appear and his bail bonds and surety bonds were cancelled. A perusal of order dated 31.1.2011 shows that no notice or intimation was given to the petitioner before cancellation of the bail bonds and surety bonds. Keeping in view the above and the fact that the petitioner is ready to appear before the trial Court and earlier also, he was on regular bail, which was granted by this Court, he is directed to appear before the trial Court on or before 24.5.2011. He shall be released on interim bail by the trial Court on his furnishing bail bonds and surety bonds to its satisfaction and subject to payment of costs of Rs.5,000/-. Petition is disposed of.
