IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-9782 of 2008 Date of decision:- 03.07.2008. Gurdev Singh ...Petitioner. Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Sanjay Kaushal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. A.S. Brar, DAG Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that non appearance of the petitioner on one date i.e. 05.11.2007 was because of sudden demise of a close relative. Though, the intimation thereof was given to the counsel for seeking exemption from personal appearance but due to communication gap, the application could not be made and his bail bonds were cancelled. Otherwise the petitioner had been appearing regularly ever since the trial commenced and he undertakes to appear regularly in future as well. Finding the reason furnished by the petitioner for his absence on 05.11.2007 to be bonafide and that the petitioner has already appeared before the court and furnished fresh bail bonds, the interim order dated 22.04.2008 is made absolute. The petition is disposed of. 3rd July, 2008. (RAJESH BINDAL) vj JUDGE
