Hon'ble Saumitra Dayal Singh,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicants 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 11.8.2017 as well as the entire proceedings of Criminal Case No.462 of 2012 (State Vs. Manoj and other), arising out of Case Crime No. 16 of 2010, under Sections 498-A, 323, 506, 494 I.P.C. and 3/4 D.P. Act, Police Station Kapsethi, District Varanasi.
Learned counsel for the applicant contends that earlier the applicants had been granted bail by the competent court and thereafter he could not appear before the trial court. Hence non-bailable warrants have been issued against them. 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 applicants 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 applicants shall move an application to cancel the non-bailable warrant issued against them 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 applicants or to direct the applicants to file fresh bail bonds within a further period of one week, thereafter;
(iii) for a period of six weeks from today, non-bailable warrants issued against the applicants shall be kept in abeyance.
In the event of failure, on part of the applicants to act within time as directed above, the Court below may adopt all coercive measures to ensure their appearance.
