How to proceed if accused’s bail is repeatedly rejected?

I filed an FIR under Section 69 of the BNS about 45 days ago. The accused is absconding and has applied for anticipatory bail twice, both of which have been rejected. What can I do further to oppose the bail? Should I consult a lawyer and request a non-bailable warrant?

Since the accused's bail has already been rejected twice and he is hiding, you should hire a good criminal lawyer to request the court to issue a non-bailable warrant (NBW). This increases pressure and helps police to arrest him. You can also ask the court to declare him as an absconder. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.

Dear Client, You should consult a lawyer to assist the prosecution and file a caveat in the High Court to oppose further bail pleas. While victims cannot issue warrants directly, your advocate can ask the Investigating Officer to obtain a Non-Bailable Warrant under Section 72 of BNSS. If he continues absconding, request the magistrate to initiate proclamation and property attachment proceedings under Sections 84 and 85 of BNSS to compel his surrender.
