Can I procure the original copy of a Non Bailable Warrant (NBW)?


01-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Is it possible to procedure a copy of the actual NBW? The magistrate court has issued a NBW against my husband who is hiding in USA and running away from facing the law. There is already a LOC issued on his name and a court order clearly stating the issue of NBW. But now the Ministry of External Affairs is asking for a copy of the actual NBW - which the police is refusing to hand over stating that it is a secret document. Acc to the police, an ordinary citizen cannot get the NBW copy. I want to know if this is true.

Police can directly handover NBW to the Ministry of External Affairs if the Ministry of External Affairs directs them to do so. As far as Common Citizen is concerned, he can get a Non Bailable Warrant Copy.

You will have to file an application before the court for the same and need to pray before it to give you hamdast of the non bailable warrant that you may serve through the consulate . You should ask your advocate to do it for you

It’s completely false. They cannot handover the copy of NBW. But you can access it from the court. You can in other case approach the court for certified copy of roznama. You’ll find the order there. You can show the certified copy to the concerned authorities.
