Preeti Bharat Gohel v. Central Bureau Of Investigation

non-appearance was neither intentional nor deliberate, but due to the aforesaid bona fide reason. She is

ready and willing to join the proceedings and furnish her passport before the Court concerned and prays for grant of one opportunity for her to surrender before the trial Court, even if the same is subject to costs. 3.

The very purpose of issuance of warrant of arrest, is to compel and secure the presence of the accused to face trial and establish the rule of law, as also to ensure finalization of the proceedings. 7.

This Court in CRM-M-36490-2022, titled as Major Singh vs. State of Punjab, decided on 15.09.2022, CRM-M-38277-2022, titled asSurjit Singh vs. State of Punjab, dated 26.08.2022 and CRM-M39000-2022, titled as Raghav vs. State of Punjab, decided on 09.09.2022, had set aside the orders of non-bailable warrants. 8.

Considering the fact that absence of the petitioner was not wilful or deliberate and his readiness and willingness to surrender and join the proceedings, in case one opportunity is granted to the petitioner, no prejudice shall be caused to any of the parties, rather her joining the proceedings would help in expediting the trial. This Court in light of the judgment referred to above being applicable to the instant case, finds that

the ends of justice would be adequately met if the present petition is allowed.
