Waris and 9 Others v. State of U.P. and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Allahabad High Court; Application U/S 528 BNSS No. 6098 of 2025 dismissed on 10-12-2025 by Hon'ble Praveen Kumar Giri, J.; Waris and 9 others v. State of U.P. and another; quashing refused — non-bailable warrant upheld in cognizable-offence case; charge sheet no. 99-A of 2016 (23-09-2016) under sections 120-B, 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 I.P.C., PS Meerganj, District Bareilly; Case No. 1594 of 2020 pending before Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Court No. 2, Bareilly; proclaimed offender; proceedings under Sections 82 and 83 Cr.P.C. executed with property attached; bail application left to trial court upon accused's appearance.
What did the court decide?
The Court concluded that the accused is continuously absconding and the process was directly adopted by the concerned court as well as the Investigating Officer; although in a case of cognizable offence there was no need of issuing any non-bailable warrant, the warrant appears to have been obtained only to declare the accused-applicant as a proclaimed offender and for obtaining the order of attachment under Section 83 Cr.P.C.; accordingly, the Court was not inclined to grant any relief.
