Mr.Devendra, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. P.P. Bhosale, APP for State-respondent no.1. None for respondents no.2 and 3. CORAM : SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J. SEPTEMBER 13, 2010. P.C. :- 1. The applicant herein is the accused in C.C. No.60 of 2006 pending in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Noida for the offence punishable under Section 138 Negotiable Instruments * 2 * Cri.Appln-4068/2010 Act. Because he did not appear in the proceedings, the court at Noida has issued non-bailable warrant against him. With the non- bailable warrant, the Noida police visited the residence of the applicant on 2nd September, 2010. However, they have not been able to execute the warrant of arrest against the applicant, as he has locked himself inside the house. Consequently, the police constables had no choice but to station themselves outside the house of the applicant, so as to take the chance of execution of non-bailable warrant as and when the applicant steps outside the house. 2. By this application, the applicant seeks transit anticipatory bail for a period of 4 weeks to enable him to appear before the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Noida in C.C. No.60 of 2006. This application has not been signed and verified by the applicant before the Officer of this court. It has also not been signed before any Notary Public. At paragraph-9 of the application, the applicant prays for dispensing with the verification of the application on the ground that the applicant is restrained by the police and his “ movements have been blocked and therefore he is locked up inside in his own house since 2nd September, 2010 . This is an absolutely ” * 3 * Cri.Appln-4068/2010 false statement made in the application. The police have not put any restraints on him nor blocked his movements. They had been to his house in order to execute the non-bailable warrant issued against him. This is clearly a case of an accused who is trying to avoid the hands of law. The application also does not contain any satisfactory explanation for not remaining present in pending criminal proceedings. Hence, the application for transit anticipatory bail is rejected. [SMT.
