Virendra Kumar Alias Krishna v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Section 528 BNSS application dismissed — Allahabad High Court, Rajeev Misra J., Order Date 13.5.2025. Accused Virendra Kumar alias Krishna sought quashing of non-bailable warrant dated 08.07.2022 and stay of S.T. No. 51 of 2020 (Case Crime No. 929 of 2019; sections 376, 342, 504, 506 IPC and Pocso Act; PS Hadiya, District Prayagraj; Special Judge Pocso Act Prayagraj). Refused: applicant enlarged on bail 02.06.2022 but absconded from trial proceedings from 08.07.2022, absent for almost three years, trial stalled; A.G.A. preliminary objection upheld; no good ground to entertain application.
What did the court decide?
The learned A.G.A.'s preliminary objection — that the applicant, though enlarged on bail on 02.06.2022, absconded from the Sessions Trial proceedings from 08.07.2022 and has still not appeared before the court below, stalling the trial for almost three years — is borne out from the record and could not be dislodged by the learned counsel for the applicant with reference to the record at this stage.
