Mohd. Saif v. State of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Application seeking setting aside of a Magistrate's order in a criminal case was considered in light of Apex Court guidance on arrest and warrants. The applicant undertook to appear before the trial court within two weeks; the High Court deferred coercive action for that period and directed expeditious lawful consideration of his recall application.
What did the court decide?
No coercive action for two weeks if applicant appears and applies for recall of non-bailable warrant; failure to appear permits coercive action.
