RAJAN GUPTA J.

Petitioner seeks concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered against him under sections 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B IPC vide FIR No. 226 dated 22.09.2014 at police station NIT, Faridabad. Admittedly, petitioner was declared a proclaimed offender on 03.05.2017. His plea for pre-arrest bail, thus, cannot be entertained in view of judgment in State of M.P. vs. Pradeep Sharma 2014(2) SCC 171.

Under the circumstances, petitioner is relegated to the remedy of seeking regular bail before the competent court. In case petitioner surrenders before the investigating agency within a week from today and thereafter moves an application for regular bail, same shall be decided by the trial court at the earliest, in any case not later than one week.
