IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA

AT CHANDIGARH Sr. No.126 CRM-M-44359-2025 (O&M) Date of Decision: 19.08.2025 Amar Singh ....Petitioner

Versus

Paramjit Kaur and Another .....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SUBHAS MEHLA Present:- Mr. Salil Dev Singh Bali, Advocate with Mr. Jaiveer Singh Bali, Advocate and Mr. Rajinder Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. ***** SUBHAS MEHLA, J. (Oral) 1.

By way of the present petition filed under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023, petitioner prays to quash order dated 22.07.2025 passed by learned ACJ(SD)-cum-SDJM, Zira, Ferozepur (Annexure P-5) in Complaint No.365-1, dated 26.11.2011 under Sections 420, 120-B IPC (Annexure P-1); and allowing the petitioner to lead his pre-charge evidence. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the instant complaint is of the year 2011 and the respondents were summoned to face trial in the year 2013 vide Annexure P-2. The respondents/accused namely Paramjit Kaur and Baljinder Kaur were declared proclaimed offenders and it is only in 2023, they appeared before learned trial Court and thereafter they filed revision petition for setting aside their summoning order and alongwith this, filed application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condoning the delay of more than 8 years in filing revision which was dismissed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ferozepur vide Annexure P-4. Now, after considerable delay, which is only attributable to the MAHIMA 2025.08.28 18:57 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh

respondents/accused, the trial started and because of this difficulty the petitioner/complainant could not arrange the witnesses in time and therefore pre-charge evidence was closed.

3.

After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner at considerable length, this Court finds that petitioner was given ample opportunities for adducing pre-charge evidence, but petitioner failed to adduce any evidence on the respective dates which can be inferred from the zimini orders of the trial Court dated 24.04.2025, 01.05.2025, 12.05.2025, 27.05.2025 and 07.07.2025. Present petition is devoid of merit. 4.

Dismissed.
