Mr. Rimple Saini, Advocate for the petitioner.

Ms. Swati Batra, D.A.G., Punjab.

**** ANOOP CHITKARA, J.

FIR No.

Dated Police Station Sections 10.12.2020 Gharinda, District 25, 54, 59 of Arms Act Amritsar Rural, Punjab 1.

The petitioner apprehending arrest in the FIR captioned above has come up before this Court under Section 482 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, [BNSS], seeking anticipatory bail.

2.

In paragraph 8 of the bail petition, the accused declares that he has no criminal antecedents.

3.

The petitioner's counsel prays for bail by imposing any stringent conditions and contends that further pre-trial incarceration would cause an irreversible injustice to the petitioner and their family.

4.

Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was granted regular bail from the trial Court and he was appearing on each and every date. On 23.05.2024, petitioner could not appear due to mis-communication and the trial Court cancelled the bail. 5.

Without taking into the consideration the maintainability of petition, this Court deems appropriate to grant interim relief to petitioner. 6.

Petitioner was appearing regularly and absented on one date, as such he is entitled for bail.
