2026-05-26Mr. Justice Alok Jain2 pages

The present petition has been filed seeking quashing of the order dated 28.07.2025 (Annexure P-9) vide which the application of the petitioner to go abroad, being a permanent resident of Canada, petitioner is required to visit Canada within six month as one the condition of green card, has been declined in FIR No. 67 dated 27.05.2009 under Section 406 and 498-A of IPC (Corresponding Sections 316 and 85 of BNS), registered at Police Station Sadar Faridkot, District Faridkot. 2.

A persual of the paper book demonstrates that the FIR was lodged in the year 2009 and the petitioner remained absconding from the process of law for several years. Consequently, he was declared a proclaimed offender on 07.12.2022. It was only thereafter that he approached this Court in the year 2025 and returned to the country. Subsequently, he was granted bail on 19.03.2025 and the order declaring PARUL 2026.06.01 10:21 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document/order

him a proclaimed offender was also quashed. The present application seeking permission to travel abroad appears to be a crude attempt to once again flee from the process of law, which cannot be permitted. 3.

A person who has earlier absconded from the process of law and compelled the co-accused to face trial alone is not entitled to such discretionary relief. The trial Court shall not be influenced by the acquittal of the co-accused and the petitioner must independently face the proceedings and answer for his conduct.

4.

At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner prays for withdrawal of the present petition.

5.

Although there is no merit in the present petition, however, in view of the request made by the counsel for the petitioner, the same stands dismissed as withdrawn.
