Dear Rahul ,
Sc judgement states that proclaim offender cannot be granted Anticipatory bail . In the above cse lavesh was declared has procliam offender as he was absconding from 2 years.
If you or any "Somebody" is not going to appear in Court on Court Warrant than the Judge will Issue Non-Bailable Warrants against you under Section 70 of the Code of Criminal procedure.
THis Warrant under Section 70 will give powers to the Police to arrest you at any moment at any place [even by breaking doors and walls of your house or the place where you are trying to hide form the arrest].
If even after Non-Bailable Warrants you don't care to appear in Court than the Judge can declare you "Proclaimed Offender" under Section 82 and 83 of the Code of Criminal procedure.--- The meaning of being declared as proclaimed Offender is that you can be arrested by ANY citizen of India at any time -- any place. Your passport will be automatically confiscated so that you don't go out of the country. -- if at the time of being declared proclaimed offender you are doing any Government Job -- You will be expelled and if not you cannot apply for any government job at any level throughout your life-- even if you are declared proclaimed offender only for One day.
So. Don't try to play dirty games and do appear in Court of the next date of hearing which must had been informed to you by the Court through summons.
