Dear Client,
When the accused tries to evade the appearance before the trial Court, the Court may issue a Non-bailable Warrant of Arrest against the accused. NBW once issued remains in force until its execution and the court even can order for attachment of property etc u/s 82, 83 Cr PC where it is needed, if such warrant remains un-executed. After the issue of a non-bailable warrant, the police are duty-bound to arrest the person against whom the warrant is issued. A non-bailable warrant has to be executed by the police authorities of the district where the accused is mentioned to be living and if the accused is on the run, the court will declare him as proclaimed absconder under section 82 of the CrPC. When a person accused of a cognizable offense deliberately evades arrest or does not appear before the trial court despite the issuance of a non-bailable warrant (NBW), the Police or investigating agency may request the concerned Court for issuance of a Look Out Circular(LOC) to stop the accused or economic offender to leave the country to evade trial or arrest. Hope your query stands resolved.
