Crl. Misc. No.M-16449 OF 2009 ****** Jagjit Singh ...Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab and another ...Respondents Present : Mr. S. K. Chawla, Advocate for the petitioner. ******* Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner could not appear on one of the date because he was ill. In the circumstances, in my opinion it would be in the interest of justice if this petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to surrender before the trial court/Duty Magistrate within 7 days and to move an appropriate application for bail. Learned trial court is directed to decide the said application on merits on the same day. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) June 12, 2009 JUDGE ashish
