Ajay Mohindru vs State Of Punjab And Another on 14 October, 2024
8. After going through the material placed on recor
record, it is revealed
that as per report of the serving police official, the proclamation issued against
the petitioner was executed on 07.04.2023 requiring the petitioner to cause his
appearance before the Court concerned on 06.05.2023, thereby giving him
only
y 29 days to do so,
so which means that he was not granted statutory period of
30 days to cause his appearance before the trial Court. Hence, the same was in
clear violation of the provisions of Section 82(1) Cr.P.C., as per which, a
specified time of not less than 30 days is required to be given to the accused
from the date of publishing such
such proclamation which is mandatory in nature.
Reliance in this regard can be placed upon Gurappa Gugal and others Vs.
