1. This petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C (Section 528 of BNSS) for quashing of order dated 02.04.2026 (Annexure P-4) passed by ld. Special Judge, Special Court, Ludhiana at Ludhiana in Case No.NDPS-87- 2022 titled as 'State Vs. Tejinder Singh' arisingh out of FIR No.140 dated 15.11.2021, registered under Sections 18, 61, 85 of the NDPS Act Police Station Payal, District Khanna, whereby a non-bailable warrant of arrest has been issued against the petitioner for 30.07.2026.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that absence on 02.04.2026 was neither willful nor deliberate, but occurred solery on account of a bona fide and inadvertent mistake and also because the next date of hearing had been wrongly noted down by the petitioner. He further submits that the petitioner had no intention to evade the process of law or to delay the trial. As such the learned trial Court vide order dated 02.04.2026 was ordered to be summoned the petitioner through non-bailable warrants of arrest for 30.07.2026. He further prays that the petitioner is ready and willing to join the ANJAL GUPTA 2026.07.21 14:25 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document proceedings before the Court and the impugned order dated 02.04.2026 be set aside.
3. Notice of motion.
4. On the asking of the Court, Mr. R.S. Pandher, AAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the case file.
6. In view of the limited prayer made by the petitioner, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order dated 02.04.2026 (Annexure P-4) passed by ld. Special Judge, Special Court, Ludhiana at Ludhiana. However, in case the petitioner surrenders before the trial Court within a period of 07 days from today and moves an application for grant of regular bail, on his doing so, the trial Court is directed to consider and decide the same within a period of 03 days.
7. With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of.
