Gurbir Singh v. State Of Punjab

In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh Criminal Misc. No. M-28341 of 2019 Date of Decision: 08.07.2019 Gurbir Singh ... Petitioner(s)

Versus

State of Punjab ... Respondent(s) CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Shekher Dhawan.

Present:

Mr. Ashish Aggarwal, Advocate for the petitioner(s).

Shekher Dhawan, J.

Present petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for seeking pre-arrest bail to the petitioner(s) in case FIR No. 87 dated 01.05.2016, registered under Section(s) 18 of the Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (Section 473 IPC was added lateron) at Police Station City Tarn Taran, District Tarn Taran.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that petitioner was earlier admitted to bail and subsequently, final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. was filed in his absence. However, learned counsel fairly conceded that after filing of the challan, petitioner was not present in the learned trial Court on three/four dates without any justified reason. As such, no case is made out to grant the concession of prearrest bail to the petitioner and present petition stands dismissed. However, petitioner may file regular bail before the learned trial Judge by taking all these pleas and if such an application is filed before the learned trial Court DEEPAK KUMAR BHARDWAJ 2019.07.08 16:12 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
