13. If liberty of a person is to be curtailed, the same has to be done
strictly in accordance with the law so provided for. In this case, it is being
curtailed by issuance of non-bailable warrant of arrest. Thus, the Court has to
7
record his satisfaction that the conditions laid down in the law for issuing
warrant of arrest has been fulfilled and the procedure has been complied with.
This satisfaction of the Court should be reflected in the order itself, to be
gathered from the record, then only warrant of arrest can be issued. The Court
has to prima-facie be satisfied that the person accused of committing a non-
bailable offence is also evading his arrest. There has to be material before the
Court to reach at the aforesaid conclusion. Without recording such subjective
satisfaction to the effect that the accused is also evading his arrest, which
should be on the basis of the materials placed before the Court, warrant of
arrest cannot be issued. This satisfaction can be derived from the police
paper/ case diary. Mere absence of the accused cannot give rise to a
presumption that he is evading arrest, which in turn cannot be the sole ground
to issue warrant of arrest.
