Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the learned trial Court while passing the impugned order gravely erred and acted contrary to the provisions contained in Section 82 Cr.PC by issuing fresh proclamation against respondent No.2 for 09.03.2022. He further submits that although the proclamation issued by the Court below vide order dated 02.12.2021 stood duly effected upon the accused-respondent No.2, as was evident from the order dated 11.01.2021, however, respondent No.2 intentionally absented and did not put in appearance before the trial Court on the date fixed i.e. 20.01.2022. He thus, submits that since the absence of respondent No.2 was intentional before the trial Court on 20.01.2022, he ought to have been proceeded
