HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD Criminal Petition No.7018 of 2009 ORDER: Heard Sri N. Siva Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri A. Ramesh, learned counsel representing the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the sole respondent. It is seen from the criminal petition and the material papers on record that the petitioner had in fact entered appearance before the trial court even before the charge sheet was filed having been arrested on 18-08-2004 and produced before the concerned Magistrate for judicial custody after which he came out on bail. It was on 31-08-2006 that a Non-bailable warrant was ordered to be issued against the petitioner due to his absence before the court and obviously due to the absence of any representation for him before the Court. Having been arrested during the course of investigation, having got himself released on bail and having been aware of the further proceedings till the filing of the charge sheet, which led to the learned Magistrate taking the case on file as P.R.C.No.26 of 2005, the petitioner obviously cannot take any plea of ignorance of the proceedings. The contents of the criminal petition themselves disclose his knowledge and even in the criminal petition, the petitioner did not state the reasons for his absence on 31-08-2006 or for the alleged communication gap between him and his counsel or any reason for him not attempting to know as to what is happening in the criminal proceedings since then till the filing of this criminal petition. Whether he is innocent of the alleged offences or not is not germane for the purpose of the present enquiry and the non- submission of the petitioner to judicial process in spite of the pendency of a Non-bailable warrant since 31-08-2006 is not a matter to be leniently viewed by taking recourse to any inherent jurisdiction of this court. Any apprehensions of harassment or ill- treatment in the hands of the police are only hypothetical and they do not justify any interference with the compulsive process issued by the Magistrate’s court to secure the presence of the accused before the court. The Criminal Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. _____________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 07-09-2009 Ksn
