Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the trial Court, without following the procedure prescribed under Section 82 Cr.P.C., declared the petitioner a proclaimed person vide the impugned order, which is unsustainable under the law as no publication, no announcement or affixation has been done in the present case. Learned counsel also submits that the petitioner undertakes to appear before the trial Court concerned on each and every date and would not absent himself without prior permission of the trial SONIA GUGNANI 2026.04.17 16.43 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
