Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not appear before the learned trial Court on 18.02.2026 due to sudden illness of petitioner's wife, who required immediate medical attention and care. As such, ld. trial Court cancelled the bail orders of the petitioner and his bail bonds/ surety bonds were ordered to be forfeited to the State and the petitioner was ordered to be summoned through non-bailable warrants of arrest.

CRM-M-20254-2026 prays that the petitioner is ready and willing to join the proceedings before the Court and the impugned order dated 18.02.2026 be set aside. 3.

Notice of motion.

4.

Mr. P.S.Pandher, Asst. A.G.Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State.

5.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the case file.

6.

In view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court deems it appropriate to decide this case without issuing notice to respondent No.1 and does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order dated 18.02.2026 passed by ld. Addl. Sessions Judge, Fazilka. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within a period of 07 days from today at 10:00 A.M and moves an application for grant of regular bail, the trial Court is directed to consider and decide the same on the very same day.

7.

With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) 17.04.2026 JUDGE renu Whether speaking/ reasoned :
