The issuance of warrant of proclamation and attachment simultaneously is in contravention of the provision laid down under Section 82/83 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and cannot be sustained. Accordingly, the order impugned dated 16th April, 2022 is set aside/quashed.

In the event the petitioner fails to surrender before the learned Magistrate within the stipulated time frame, the learned Magistrate shall be at liberty to take necessary steps against the petitioner in accordance with law. The warrant of arrest issued vide order dated 21st March, 2020 be stayed till 20th December, 2024. The revisional application being CRR 4079 of 2024 is disposed of.
