Can bail be applied on behalf of the accused if he ran away


08-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi, In a recent family fight related to property which took place yesterday my uncle attacked his cousin with a knife. In which his cousin got injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. His current status is out of danger but had got stitches on his stomach. Seeing his cousin bleeding my uncle fled from the spot before the police arrived. We do not know his whereabouts and are extremely worried as to where it would lead us. My uncle's cousin was coming to our house and threatening us from last 1 month and on the day this crime took place he was abusing my uncle's mom and sisters along with him, which led my uncle to lost his cool and get a Vegetable Knife to attack. My uncle is a law abiding person and a taxpayer with no police records in the past. What would be the sections imposed on him ? Is there by any chance we can apply for a bail on his behalf ? Please suggest the best possible solution. Thanking You

He will definitely be charged under section 307 that is attempt to murder. He has two choices one apply for anticipatory bail which is very difficult because he is charged for serious offence. Second is he has to surrender before the police and show that it is a case of Grave and sudden provocation and not intentional after which he has a fair chances of getting bail. If he will abscond for a longer period then his chances of getting bail will go on reducing.

You are advice to get lawyer assistance. Your uncle can apply for anticipatory bail before the Session Court of your jurisdiction, but till that time he has to be underground. If you want to avoid arrest, you can apply for anticipatory bail.
