State of Haryana

Coram:

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Inderjit Singh .....

Present:

Mr. Maharaj Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. .....

Inderjit Singh, J.

This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.45 dated 25.8.2011 registered for the offences under Sections 406, 420 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Mansa Devi Complex, Panchkula.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that present petitioner was granted anticipatory bail by this Court and he joined the investigation and was released on Police bail whereas his co-accused was declared proclaimed offender. Later on, when the challan was filed, notice was sent to the present petitioner to appear, but he failed to appear before the trial Court and when all the efforts were made to procure his presence, even through HARPAL SINGH PARMAR 2015.09.29 16:09 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

Cr. Misc. No.M-31271 of 2015 [2] warrants of arrest failed, then he was declared proclaimed offender. A perusal of the record further shows that the accused ran away to Singapore after being released on Police bail and never come forward and he was declared proclaimed offender.

Keeping in view the nature and gravity of the offence and the fact that the petitioner has misused the concession of the anticipatory bail granted by this Court earlier, I do not find it a fit case where the present petitioner is entitled to the benefit of anticipatory bail. Therefore, finding no merit in this petition, the same is dismissed.
