1. The present petition has been filed under Section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (corresponding to Section 482 of the RENU RAWAT
Chandigarh
Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973), seeking quashing of the order dated 28.02.2025, whereby non-bailable warrants were issued against the petitioner, as well as the order dated 18.10.2025, whereby the petitioner was declared a proclaimed offender by the learned trial Court, in case FIR No. 77 dated 26.07.2023, registered under Section 21 of the NDPS Act at Police Station Bhogpur, District Jalandhar.
2. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not appear before the learned trial and due to his non-appearance, ld. trial Court cancelled his bail and issued non-bailable warrants against the petitioner. He further submits that there has been non- compliance of the provisions of Section 82 Cr.P.C., and therefore, the impugned orders dated 28.02.2025 and 18.10.2025 deserves to be set aside. The petitioner is willing to join the proceedings before the trial Court.
3. Notice of motion.
4. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, DAG, Punjab accepts notice on behalf of the respondent-State. Reply by way of an affidavit of Rajiv Kumar, PPS, Dy. Supdt. Of Police, Sub Division, Adampur District Jalandhar Rural has been filed in the Court today and the same is taken on record.
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 learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court does not find any legitimate ground to interfere in the impugned order orders dated 28.02.2025 passed by ld. JSC, Jalandhar and RENU RAWAT
Chandigarh
18.10.2025 passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge-IV, Jalandhar. 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, the trial Court is directed to consider and decide the same within a period of two days.
7. With these observations, the present petition stands disposed of.
