IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-18131 of 2008 Date of decision:- 22.7.2008 Jarnail Singh ...Petitioner. Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Vikas Bahl, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL J. The quashing of FIR No. 18 dated 5.2.1997 is sought after 11 years of registration of the FIR, which cannot be considered after such inordinate delay. The trial in fact could not proceed because in 5.6.2004 the petitioner was declared as proclaimed offender. The challenge to the order declaring the petitioner as proclaimed offender on 5.6.2004 also cannot be entertained at this belated stage. The present petition is dismissed.
