                      CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURVINDER SINGH GILL

                      Present:      Mr. Sandeep Kumar, Advocate,
                                    for the petitioner.

                      GURVINDER SINGH GILL, J. (Oral)

1. The petitioner has approached this Court challenging order dated

22.09.2023 (Annexure P-3)) passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate,

Kapurthala whereby his bail has been cancelled on account of his Kapurthala,

absence in case FIR No.325 No.325 dated 03.11.2020 registered at Police Station

City Kapurthala, District Kapurthala, under Sections 323, 308, 148, 149

IPC.

2. This impugned order dated 22.09.2023 (Annexure P-3)) having been

passed by the Court on account of violation of conditions of the bail

bonds/surety bonds, bonds this Court does not wish to comment upon the same.

3. It is, however, directed that in case the petitioner surrenders before the

trial rial Court within 10 days from today and moves an application for grant

of regular bail, the trial rial Court shall consider the same expeditiously while

taking into account the observations made in concluding paragraph of

CRM-M-53938 53938-2024 (O&M)

judgment passed by this Court in CRM--M-39172 of 2021 titled Pawan

Kumar Vs. State of Haryana and another decided on 21.09.2021, 9.2021, which

reads as under:

"12. Before parting with this order, it needs to be added that this Court cannot lose sight of the fact that there would be certain cases where an accused is unable to appear before the trial Court on account of genuine reasons, say on account of having noted the date incorrectly or on account of certain reasons which are beyond his control. In such cases, the accused can surrender before the tri trial al Court and it is expected that the trial Courts would take a lenient view in genuine cases and decide the regular bail application expeditiously. In a given set of circumstances where the trial Court is satisfied that there were valid reasons for the absence ence of an accused and that he has surrendered at the shortest possible time, the trial Court can in fact dispose of the regular bail application on the very day the same is presented by accused upon his surrender. The trial Court, in its discretion, may also lso chose to grant interim bail, in fit cases, but only after surrender of accused."

4. Petition stands disposed off accordingly.
