The petitioner, Vikash @ Chinnu, challenged an order dated 13.04.2026 passed by the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Narnaul, which cancelled his bail and issued non-bailable warrants against him after he failed to appear in court on one occasion, having gone to Delhi for personal work. The petitioner argued that his absence was not willful and that the trial court acted contrary to settled principles of criminal jurisprudence by directly issuing non-bailable warrants without affording him an opportunity to explain. The Punjab and Haryana High Court, relying on Supreme Court precedents including Gudikanti Narasimhulu v. Public Prosecutor (AIR 1978 SC 429), Gurcharan Singh v. State (1978 (1) SCC 118), and Sanjay Chandra v. CBI ((2012) 1 SCC 40), held that the cancellation of bail and issuance of non-bailable warrants were unjustified in the absence of any misconduct, lack of bona fides, or deliberate attempt to evade proceedings. The High Court set aside the impugned order, subject to the petitioner appearing before the trial court by 15.07.2026, furnishing an undertaking to attend all future hearings, and depositing costs of ₹10,000/- with the Punjab & Haryana High Court Employees Welfare Association.
