1.

The instant petition has been filed by the petitioner for quashing of order dated 28.01.2025 (Annexure P-13) passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar in case arising out of FIR No.335 dated 29.09.2020 registered under Sections 21 of NDPS Act and Section 25 of Arms Act at Police Station Jandiala Guru, Amritsar, whereby his bail was cancelled and bonds were forfeited to the State due to his non-appearance on that particular date and non-bailable warrants were ordered to be issued against him for 04.09.2025.

2.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that due to some misunderstanding in noting the date of hearing, he could not appear on 28.01.2025 before the Court. His absence was not intentional but was due to the fact that he had been arrested on 17.01.2025 in some other case. He was granted bail on 19.02.2025 and was released on 26.02.2025. He is ready to join the proceedings before the trial Court and to abide by the terms and

 conditions to be imposed upon him, therefore, prayer has been made for allowing the present petition.

 His absence on 28.01.2025 was due to some misunderstanding in noting the date of hearing and he could not appear before the trial Court. His absence was not intentional but was due to the fact that he had been arrested on 17.01.2025 in some other case. Though, no justification has been made out for setting aside the impugned order as no illegality seems to have been committed by learned trial Court while passing the same, however, in view of the request made by learned counsel for the petitioner at this stage to grant the petitioner one more opportunity to surrender before the trial Court and further keeping in view the fact that the absence of the petitioner does not attract the consequences of detaining him into custody as he is willing to join the trial and the ultimate aim is to ensure timely disposal of the cases before the learned trial Court, the present petition is disposed of with the direction to the petitioner to surrender before the learned trial Court within a period of 20 days from today

 and it is further ordered that on his surrender and on moving appropriate application, the learned trial Court admit him to bail subject to his furnishing personal as well as surety bonds to its satisfaction. However, this petition shall be deemed to be dismissed if the petitioner does not abide by this order. 6.

Petition stands disposed of.

7.

A copy of this order be sent to the trial Court. -+ .
