This petition has been filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C for quashing and setting aside of order dated 04.10.2023 (Annexure P-2) passed by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Narnaul whereby the bail order of the petitioner has been cancelled and his bail bonds. Surety bonds have been forfeited to the State on account of his non-appearance on one date in proceedings relating to case FIR No. 356 dated 11.10.2022 under Sections 21(1), of Mines and Minerals (Regulation of Development) Act 1957 and Section 379 IPC registered at Police Station Sadar Narnaul, District Mahendergarh and his presence has been ordered to be secured through nonbailable warrants. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not appear before the learned Appellate Court on 04.10.2023 due to wrong noting down the date of hearing as 04.11.2023. As such the learned Appellate Court cancelled the bail orders of the petitioner and his bail bonds and surety bonds were ordered to be forfeited.
