Dear All,
One of my known has been arrested in a case filed u/s 120B, 420 and 467 IPC. The chargesheet was framed way back in 2000. For the first hearing, he was critically ill and his brother submitted a signed medical certificate of the main accused. After that, the accused was not aware of the case proceedings and so did not update his latest address with the court. In the meantime, he was declared a procliamed offender. He was recently arrested after 15 years of submission of chargesheet.
The co-accused, who is his brother is still absconding.
We are not sure on what grounds can bail be filed since we are getting the general advise that right now the rejection probability of bail will be high and we should wait for a few hearings.
The case at present is in Evidence stage.
Your advise will really help on what ground to apply the bail on and what is the course of action to be taken.
Thanks.
