CRL OP(MD). No.6815 of 2020

3. A perusal of the petition indicates that for the offences under Sections 452, 323, 366(A) and 506(ii) of I.P.C., the petitioner was arrested and later granted bail. But pending trial, he did not attend the hearing on 27.02.2020. Hence, the Non Bailable Warrant was issued against him. Due to COVID 19 situation, the petitioner has approached this Court for anticipatory bail, instead of filing a petition to re-call the Non Bailable Warrant issued by the Sessions Court.

4. Taking note of the extreme situation, this Court while dismissing this petition, directs the petitioner herein to approach the Sessions Court and seek for recall of Non Bailable Warrant under Section 17(2) of Cr.P.C. If any such petition is filed, the same may be considered on the same day by the Sessions Judge. sd/- 29/06/2020 / TRUE COPY / / /2020 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.)
