IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-29108 of 2011 Date of Decision:- 21.11.2011 Jasbir Singh @ Jasvinder ....Petitioner(s) vs. State of Punjab ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH *** Present:- Mr.S.S.Rana, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Amandeep Singh Rai,DAG, Punjab. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (Oral) Prayer in this application is for grant of regular bail. A perusal of the record would indicate that the petitioner was declared a proclaimed offender on 26.3.2004 and he was arrested on 28.5.2008. There is no explanation coming-forth on behalf of the petitioner in regard to his absence from trial for such a long period. What has been contended by the counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner was arrested in FIR No.51 dated 18.4.2008 and, therefore, he could not put in appearance before the trial Court. This does not fulfil the justification for the period he has absconded and had not appeared before the trial Court. No ground for grant of regular bail is made out. Dismissed.
