***
(By Hon'ble Barkat Ali Zaidi, J.)
1.This is an appeal arising out of the proceedings under Section 446 Cr.P.C.
2.Heard Sri Ghanshyam Joshi advocate for the appellant and Sri Surendra Singh-II, Addl. Government Advocate for the State.
3.The two sureties who have filed this appeal, were fined Rs. 50,000/- each because the accused did not appear on the date fixed and warrant for his arrest was issued and the bail bonds of the sureties were forfeited.
4. The contention of the counsel for the appellants- sureties here, is that, after having come to know, that the accused absented himself from appearance in the Court, the sureties made all efforts to get him apprehended by the police, and it was because of their efforts, that the police immediately apprehended the accused.
5.The counsel for the state has not controverted this submission, and the Judge has also not mentioned in his order that the averments of the sureties about rendering help to the police in the arrest of the accused is erroneous.
6.In these circumstances, therefore, the amount of fine imposed, by the Judge seems excessive, and deserves to be reduced.
7.The plea of the sureties about exoneration cannot be accepted but the quantum of fine needs to be reduced.
