CRM-M No. 31745 OF 2011 Raj Kumar alias Raju v. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Anil Chawla, Advocate for the petitioner. ****** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed by the petitioner in case baring FIR No. 189 dated 27.06.2006, under Section 379 IPC( Section 411 added later on), registered at Police Station Civil Lines, District Amritsar. Learned counsel has initially argued that the non-appearance of the petitioner primarily arose because of the fact that the challan was presented after three years and no valid service of the fresh notices was ever made upon the petitioner. After arguing for some time learned counsel for the petitioner states that he has no objection in appearing before the trial Court but in such a circumstances no useful purpose would be served by keeping the petitioner in custody. He, therefore, prays that the petitioner shall appear before the trial Court on the date fixed viz. 20.10.2011 and move an application for regular bail but the trial Court should be directed to decide the same sympathetically and expeditiously. I find it to be a fair request . In the circumstances the present petition is dismissed and it is directed that if the petitioner appears before the trial Court tomorrow and moves an application for regular bail and the facts stated therein are found to be correct, the trial Court shall sympathetically consider the same and decide the bail application on the same day. CRM-M No. 31745 OF 2011 -2- Let a copy of this order be given dasti to learned counsel under the signatures of the Court Secretary. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE October 19, 2011 sunita
