No Anticipatory Bail for Absconders - Supreme Court
IN a judgement delivered on 31 August 2012, the Supreme Court held:
Normally, when the accused is “absconding” and declared as a “proclaimed offender”, there is no question of granting anticipatory bail.
We reiterate that when a person against whom a warrant had been issued and is absconding or concealing himself in order to avoid execution of warrant and declared as a proclaimed offender in terms of Section 82 of the Code is not entitled the relief of anticipatory bail .
