Holding
The Court refused to quash the non‑bailable warrant and ordered the applicant to surrender and seek bail within three weeks.
Summary
The applicant filed an application under Section 528 of the Criminal Procedure Code seeking to quash a non‑bailable warrant dated 11‑Nov‑2025 issued in the State of U.P. v. Satpal case. The High Court examined the record and found no ground to interfere with the warrant, thereby refusing the prayer to quash it. The Court, however, directed the applicant to surrender before the concerned court and apply for bail within three weeks, with a stay on any coercive action during that period. The applicant’s counsel argued that bail had already been granted, but the Court ordered the applicant to appear and seek fresh bail if necessary. The application was ultimately disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the non‑bailable warrant can be quashed under Section 528 CrPC
- Whether the applicant is entitled to liberty to surrender and apply for bail

(State of U.P. vs. Satpal) under sections 392, 397, 411 IPC, arising out of

directed to appear before the learned court concerned in pursuance to
impugned non-bailable warrant dated 11.11.2025 and prefer bail within

shall be initiated against the applicant. After the expiry of aforesaid period
of three weeks, learned concerned court is directed to proceed as per law.

compel him to prefer fresh bond and surety.
