CrPC Section 482 | Non-Bailable Warrant Quashed When Accused Is in Judicial Custody Elsewhere: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court quashed a non-bailable warrant issued against an accused who was physically unable to appear due to judicial custody in Bihar, ruling that such absence cannot be treated as wilful evasion. This reinforces that procedural fairness under Section 482 requires courts to distinguish between genuine impossibility and deliberate non-appearance, protecting accused persons caught in overlapping legal proceedings across states.
