Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 3726 of 2019 Applicant :- Abdul Kalam @ Sunder Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Rajiv Chowdhury Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
Hon'ble Neeraj Tiwari,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State.
The present 482 Cr.P.C. application has been filed to quash the non bailable warrant dated 01.01.2019 passed by Special Judge, Anti Corruption-I, Varanasi in S.T. No. 282 of 2013, arising out of case crime no. 175 of 2013, under sections 399, 402, 120B I.P.C., P.S. Cantt, District Varanasi.
Learned counsel for the applicant contends that earlier the applicant had been granted bail by the competent court and thereafter he could not appear before the trial court. Hence non- bailable warrant has been issued against him. He further submits that the reasons on account of which the applicant failed to appear before the trial court were beyond his control and that the applicant has every intention to appear before the court concerned and participate in the trial.
Considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the applicant and perused the impugned order as well as the other materials brought on record. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this application is disposed of with the following direction:
(i) the applicant shall move an application to cancel the non- bailable warrant issued against him before the court below within three weeks from today along with the certified copy of this order;
(ii) in that case the concerned court will exercise its discretion to pass appropriate order thereon to either recall the non bailable warrant issued against the applicant or to direct the applicant to file fresh bail bonds within a further period of one week, thereafter;
(iii) for a period of six weeks from today, non-bailable warrant issued against the applicant shall be kept in abeyance.
In the event of failure, on part of the applicant to act within time as directed above, the Court below may adopt all coercive measures to ensure his appearance.
