'Peculiar and Unusual': Punjab and Haryana High Court Seeks Explanation For Petitioner Being Unaware About Grant Of Bail By Magistrate

Live Law  

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday expressed shock while adjudicating upon a case wherein a Sessions Court had rejected the bail plea moved by the petitioner who was unaware that he had already been granted bail by the concerned Magistrate. Consequently, the petitioner sought liberty to withdraw the bail plea filed before the High Court on the ground that he had no knowledge that he had already been granted bail by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panchkula. Terming the unfortunate turn of events as 'peculiar and unusual', Justice H.S Madaan observed, "It is very strange that neither petitioner/accused nor his counsel would come to know about the order granting regular bail to the petitioner/accused and rather learned Sessions Judge, Panchkula was approached by way of filing application for regular bail. It is very surprising that without verifying and going through the order passed by Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panchkula, learned Sessions Judge, Panchkula proceeded to dispose of the application for regular bail when it should not have been done as bail had already been granted to the petitioner by Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panchkula."
