The petitioner had absented from the Court on 20.12.2015 and thereafter he did not appear and on 13.02.2017, he was declared proclaimed offender.

CRM-M-45321-2017 -2family dispute.

The person, who is pursuing study of law, knows the law better than a common man. There is no explanation for non appearance of petitoner in the Court from 20.10.2015 to 13.02.2017, when he was declared proclaimed offender.

Keeping in view the above facts, I find no reason to exercise the discretionary power of this Court to grant him the benefit of anticipatory bail.

Dismissed.

At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner will surrender before the trial Court. In the event of petitioner surrendering and moving application for bail, the same be decided expeditiously.
