What to do i missed a court hearing and a bailable warrant issued
02-Jul-2023 (In Banking / Finance Law)
Hi, I defaulted on a loan and had a court date that I missed because the notice was sent to me the afternoon of the court date. My address and contact details have changed since the loan was taken. After receiving an email with the legal notice, I replied to the bank representatives in order to comply with them and solve the issue. But instead, they replied to me with a bailable arrest warrant that has been issued in my name and a second court date has been set. How do I navigate through this and arrange for a settlement between me and the bank, so that court can be avoided? I do not have the finance to immediately repay the entire amount, but can pay a decided amount in installments.
Do not be panic. Now also you can visit the court and verify what is next date of hearing. You can also check what transpired on last occassion. If warrant is issued, you can move for cancellation of arrest warrant, in meantime before next date of hearing. Dont worry, you are not the only person who has defaulted. You should be worried unless it is willful default.

What happens after a bailable warrant?
If the accused does not appear, Court will check if warrant was served properly or not. If the Bailable Warrant is not served properly, a new one will be issued.
What is a non bailable warrant in IPC?
A warrant of arrest is a non-bailable warrant. An individual can be jailed after it has been issued. This warrant is required when an order of conviction has been passed but the accused is still not in custody.
What does bailable offence mean?
Bailable offenses are crimes or offences that are of a less serious nature. Bail is a legal right in such cases, and the arrested individual must be released once the bail has been deposited with the police. In these cases, the police has the authority to grant bail.
How do you escape a non bailable warrant?
If a NBW has been issued against you, leave your home immediately. You can be arrested or even put in judicial custody if you dont get bail. Then, through an attorney, apply for anticipatory bond with the court. Do not hesitate to hire a lawyer who will represent you at court.
