CRM-M-59627-2025 (O&M) The relevant facts of the present case for adjudication are that the petitioner is facing trial in the afore-said case and had been granted regular bail by the trial Court. On 05.04.2025, the petitioner became absent before the trial Court and his non-bailable warrants were ordered to be issued by the trial Court and on 12.05.2025 his bail bonds and surety bonds were cancelled and forfeited to State.
It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that earlier the petitioner was regularly appearing before the trial Court. The absence of the petitioner was neither intentional nor deliberate but due to noting of the wrong date. Learned counsel has submitted that the petitioner is ready to surrender before the trial Court. Therefore, the impugned order dated 05.04.2025 and order dated 12.05.2025 be set aside. Heard.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the present case and to enable the petitioner to join the proceedings pending before the trial Court and to expedite the proceedings in trial, the impugned orders dated 05.04.2025 and 12.05.2025 are set aside. The petitioner is directed to surrender and appear before the trial Court within 10 days and on doing so, he would be released on bail on furnishing his fresh bail/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the Court concerned and with the undertaking to appear regularly before the trial Court on each and every date of hearing, subject to depositing of Rs. 8,000/- with DLSA, Jalandhar.
