Crl. Misc No. M 6992 OF 2011 ****** Gurdeep Singh vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. S.S.Walia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohd. DAG Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.53, dated 9.4.2009, registered under Sections 353/186/332/342/295- A/148/149 of the IPC, at Police Station Sadar District Kapurthala. On the last date of hearing, the following order was passed :- “ Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the main accused has been granted bail and that the petitioner has not been named and the non-bailable Section 326 IPC was only added lateron. Notice of motion. On being asked, Mr. Gazi Mohammad, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State. Learned counsel for the petitioner has supplied copy of the petition to the learned DAG today in Court itself. Adjourned to 23.3.2011.” In normal circumstances, these averments would have entitled the petitioner for anticipatory bail but it is brought out by counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Gurvinder Singh, that the petitioner has been declared proclaimed offender. Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner has been declared proclaimed offender since the summons were sent to some other address. In these circumstances, I do not deem it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Consequently, this petition is dismissed. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court and files an Crl.Misc No.M 6992 of 2011 : 2 : application for regular bail, the same shall be considered and decided, in accordance with law, by the trial Court within two days of its filing.
