Crl. Misc. No. M-32839 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-32839 of 2011 Date of Decision : November 02, 2011 Hardeep Singh alias Bunty .... Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Munish Behl, Advocate for the petitioner. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Hardeep Singh alias Bunty has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.258 dated 22.07.2003, under Sections 323, 324, 326 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Sadar, District Amritsar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. The petitioner was on bail, but he jumped bail and did not appear in the trial court on 20.05.2011 the date fixed there and consequently, his bail bonds were forfeited to the State and non-bailable Crl. Misc. No. M-32839 of 2011 2 warrant was issued. However, presence of the petitioner could not be secured even through non-bailable warrant and consequently, proclamation under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short – Cr.P.C.) has been issued against him. Counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner could not appear in the trial court on 20.05.2011 because he had noted wrong date of hearing. However, the contention cannot be accepted because the pretext or excuse for non-appearance in the trial court on 20.05.2011, put forward by the petitioner, is patently untenable. The petitioner has not even alleged as to which wrong date of hearing he had noted. The petitioner has also not annexed any document i.e. copy of diary entry of petitioner's counsel in the trial court or the copy of his brief. Presence of the petitioner could not even be secured through non-bailable warrant and proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. has already been issued against him. In view of the aforesaid, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Dismissed. November 02, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
