Crl. Misc. No. M-31324 of 2010 (O&M) (1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-31324 of 2010 (O&M) DATE OF DECISION: 27.10.2010 Daler Singh ..........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ..........Respondent BEFORE:- HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE DAYA CHAUDHARY Present:- Mr. F.S. Virk, Advocate for the petitioner. **** DAYA CHAUDHARY, J. Crl. Misc. No. 55828 of 2010 Application is allowed as prayed for. Crl. Misc. No. M-31324 of 2010 The present petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail has been filed on behalf of Daler Singh in case FIR No. 177 dated 31.7.2009 registered under Sections 21,61,85 of NDPS Act at Police Station Patran, District Patiala. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that earlier the petitioner was attending the Court proceedings regularly but on 1.6.2010, as he was admitted in Rehabilitation Centre, he could not appear before the trial Court and an application for exemption from personal appearance was filed, which was allowed on 1.6.2010 itself. Again on 14.7.2010, the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court as he was illegally confined by CIA Staff and was in custody w.e.f. 12.7.2010 to 14.7.2010. Crl. Misc. No. M-31324 of 2010 (O&M) (2) On that date also, an application for exemption from personal appearance was filed, which was also allowed on 14.7.2010. Subsequently on 14.9.2010, again the petitioner could not appear before the trial Court because of the apprehension of arrest by the police and an application for exemption from personal appearance was filed, which was dismissed and consequently his bail bonds and surety bonds were cancelled and forfeited to State and warrants of arrest were issued. Learned counsel further contends that the petitioner is ready to appear before the trial Court and to abide by all the terms and conditions to be imposed by the trial Court with an undertaking that he will appear on each and every date in future. In this case, earlier also on two occasions, applications for exemption from personal appearance were allowed and on 14.9.2010 the petitioner did not appear before the trial Court and his bail bonds and surety bonds were cancelled and warrants of arrest were issued. Since the absence of the petitioner seems to be not intentional and he is also ready to surrender before the trial Court, the present petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before the trial Court within a period of ten days and furnish fresh bail bonds and surety bonds to the satisfaction of trial Court subject to payment of Rs.10,000/- as costs and he shall be released on bail by the trial Court on furnishing bail bonds to its satisfaction. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. October 27, 2010 (DAYA CHAUDHARY) pooja JUDGE Note:-Whether this case is to be referred to the Reporter .......Yes/No Crl. Misc. No. M-31324 of 2010 (O&M) (3)
