#Arrest Warrants

Rajasthan High Court holds that issuing arrest warrants solely because a defendant's counsel obtained certified copies violates due process. The court converted the arrest warrant to a bailable warrant, reinforcing judicial safeguards against procedural arbitrariness in criminal trials.

The Karnataka High Court upholds the issuance of arrest warrants against landowners who deliberately avoided complying with a three-year-old consumer dispute order, affirming that willful evasion of statutory remedies justifies coercive enforcement. This sets a critical precedent for consumer commissions to use criminal sanctions against serial non-compliers, strengthening the enforceability of final orders under the Act.
