for the petitioner.
***** H.S.GREWAL, J. (Oral) .
This petition has been preferred by the petitioner under Section 528 of BNSS, 2023 (erstwhile Section 482 Cr.P.C.), seeking setting-aside the order dated 04.11.2023 (Annexure P-4) passed by the learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Khamano, vide which the petitioner has been declared as a proclaimed person.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the trial Court, without following the procedure prescribed under Section 82 Cr.P.C., declared the petitioner a proclaimed person vide the impugned order (Annexure P-4), which is unsustainable under the law as no publication, no announcement or affixation has been done in the present case. Learned counsel also submits that the petitioner undertakes to appear before the trial Court concerned on each and every date and would not absent himself SEEMA SHARMA 2026.07.28 17:22 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment

without prior permission of the trial Court. It is, therefore, prayed that the petitioner may be permitted to surrender before the learned trial Court to attend the trial proceedings continuously and the impugned order may be set aside.
3. Notice of motion to respondent No.1 only at this stage.
4. On the asking of the Court, Mr. P.S. Pandher, AAG, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of respondent No.1.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the case file.
6. In view of the facts and circumstances of this case, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere with the impugned order. However, liberty is granted to the petitioner that in case, he surrenders before the trial Court within 07 days and moves an application for grant of bail, the same shall be considered and decided by the trial Court within a period of three days of filing of the said application in accordance with law.
7. With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of.
