versus STATE ..... Respondent Through:

Mr. Rajesh Manchanda & Mr. Rajat Manchanda, Advs.

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.K.GAUBA

O R D E R

% 05.10.2018 Pursuant to the directions in the order dated 08.08.2018, the trial court has issued process under Section 82 Cr.P.C. against the appellant. It is clear from the report which has been made that the appellant is absconding. Against this backdrop, the course adopted by the division benches of this Court in Mukesh vs. State 2008 SCC Online Del 877 and Kamlesh vs. State 2009 SCC Online Del 3729 commends itself to be followed. Since the appellant, who was enlarged on bail, is deliberately keeping herself away not prosecuting the appeal, it being rendered manifestly an abuse of the process of the court, the appeal and the pending applications are dismissed. Coercive steps will continue against the appellant to ensure that her presence is secured so that she is taken in custody to serve the remaining sentence. R.K.GAUBA, J OCTOBER 05, 2018/nk
