VERSUS

STATE OF PUNJAB AND ANR ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.S.GREWAL

Present:

Ms. Tuneet Walia, Advocate for the petitioner. **** H.S. GREWAL, J. (ORAL) 1.

This petition has been filed under Section 528 of BNSS (Section 482 Cr.P.C) for quashing of order dated 14.08.2025 in FIR No. 151 dated 03.08.2023 under Sections 379-B and 411 of IPC (Section 304 and 317 of BNS) registered at Police Station City-1, District Sangrur. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not appear before the learned trial Court as he had lost all communication with his counsel and was unable to inform him about his arrest in a case under the NDPS Act. Consequently, the learned trial Court cancelled the bail orders of the petitioner and his bail bonds and surety bonds were ordered to be forfeited to the State and petitioner was ordered to be summoned through non-bailable warrants of arrest. He further prays that the petitioner is ready and willing to join the proceedings before the Court and the impugned order dated 14.08.2025 be set aside.

Notice of motion only to respondent No.1 at this stage. This Court deems it appropriate to decide this case without issuing notice to respondent No.2.

4.

On the asking of Court, Mr. P.S.Pandher, Assistant AG 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 does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order dated 14.08.2025 passed by ld. Addl.Sessions Judge, Sangrur. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within a period of 07 days from today and moves an application for grant of regular bail, the trial Court is directed to consider and decide the same within a period of 03 days.

7.

With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of. (H.S.GREWAL) 05.05.2026 JUDGE renu Whether speaking/ reasoned :
