317 cr.pc

Respected Members,

Is it necessary when the Accused in a Criminal case (Forgery) not attending the hearings inspite of summons,have to file Petition u/s. 317 Cr.PC through his Counsel every time for each hearing or only one such petition is enough till that petition is cancelled by the Magistrate?

Thanks & Regards,

Deepthisudan.

Dear Mr. Reddy,

Thanks for your reply Sir. In this instant case, the Complainant is a Defacto Complainant & on filing Protest Petition, the Magistrate has taken cognezance & summoned the attedance of the Accused (who is already on AB) for 1st hearing & the Accused have attended that hearing. Afterwards for about 8 hearings Accused have not attended. It seems on 4th hearing the Counsel of Accused filed an Application u/s.317 Cr.PC which has been allowed by the Magistrate. But in the recent hearing the Accused have not attended & the Magistrate dismissed the 317 Application filed & also ordered to issue NBW against the Accused. In this connection, kindly let me know whether the AB will be cancelled as NBW is being issued now?

Thanks & Regards,
