Judgment & Decree
Petitioner has approached this Court for anticipatory bail in case F.I.R. No.177, dated 4-7-2003 registered at P.S. Chak Baidi, under sections 302, 337-A(i), 337-F(i), 148 and 149, P.P.C. His first pre-arrest bail application was dismissed by A.S.J., Pakpattan for non-submission of security bond and his subsequent petition for the same relief was dismissed for non-prosecution on 1-8-2003, as on that date neither the petitioner nor his counsel was present.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has tried to offer explanation for non submission of bail bonds and non-appearance before the Court of Sessions but I am not inclined to consider the same because said explanation may be made before the lower Court where the petitioner had absented. Petitioner is not precluded from filing another pre-arrest bail application before the lower Court.
3. With above observations, this pre-arrest bail application is hereby dismissed. H.B.T./L-105/L Pre-arrest bail application dismissed.
