IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-18624 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 18.07.2011 Amandeep Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Liaqat Ali, Advocate for the petitioner. …… RAJESH BINDAL, J. The petitioner is an accused in FIR No.111 dated 3.11.2003 reg- istered under Sections 307, 452, 323, 324, 341 and 506/149 and 148 IPC, P.S. Sadar Lambra, Jalandhar. The petitioner was arrested and released on regular bail. However, thereafter he absented from proceedings on 1.11.2006 and was declared proclaimed offender on 30.11.2007. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail. Learned counsel or the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had gone abroad as during the pendency of the trial, the matter in dispute between the parties was compromised. The other accused in the FIR have been acquitted after trial. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I do not find any merit in the submissions made. The FIR was registered way back in Novem- ber, 2003. The petitioner absented from the Court on 1.11.2006 and was de- clared proclaimed offender on 30.11.2007. He, in fact, had gone abroad without even taking permission of the Court. Considering the conduct of the petitioner, I do not find this to be a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed.
