1. The present petition has been filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (corresponding to Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973), seeking quashing of the order dated 20.04.2026 (Annexure P-4) whereby learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fazilka cancelled the bail order of the petitioner and issued non-bailable warrants of the petitioner and impugned order dated 02.07.2026n (Annexure P-5) whereby proclamation of the petitioner was issued in case FIR No.171 dated 31.08.2023 registered under Sections 379-B, 323 and 34 of IPC at Police Station City-I, Abohar, District Fazilka, Punjab.
2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, inter alia, contends that the petitioner had been granted the concession of regular bail by the learned Trial Court vide order dated 03.10.2023. It is submitted that the petitioner could not appear before the learned Trial Court on the date fixed due to a bona fide miscommunication between the SAURAV PATHANIA 2026.07.20 18:54 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document petitioner and the clerk of his counsel. It is submitted that although the clerk had informed the petitioner that the next date of hearing was 20.04.2026, the petitioner inadvertently noted it as 20.05.2026. It is, therefore, contended that the petitioner's non-appearance was neither intentional nor deliberate, but occurred solely on account of the aforesaid bona fide misunderstanding, and that there was no intention on his part to evade the process of law.
3. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he does not want to press the present petition at this stage. It is further submitted that the petitioner shall surrender before the learned Trial Court within a period of three days from today and may be permitted to move an appropriate application seeking grant of regular bail before the said Court.
4. Accordingly, the present petition is disposed of as not pressed. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Trial Court within a period of three days from today. In the event the petitioner surrenders within the aforesaid period and files an application seeking regular bail, the learned Trial Court shall consider and decide the same expeditiously, preferably within a period of one week from the date of its filing, in accordance with law.
5. Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, stand disposed of. ( VIRINDER AGGARWAL) JUDGE 20.07.2026 S. Pathania Whether speaking/reasoned Yes/No Whether Reportable Yes/No
