A Non-Bailable Warrant (NBW) is a legal order issued by a court authorizing law enforcement to arrest an individual who has failed to appear as required, typically in connection with a serious offense. Unlike a bailable warrant, an NBW does not automatically allow the accused to secure bail upon arrest. To cancel an NBW, the accused or their lawyer must appear before the issuing court and file an application explaining the reason for the absence and requesting cancellation. The court may also require an undertaking to ensure the individual appears for all future hearings.

You can approach the concerned court through your advocate and file an application for cancellation of NBW. In the application, you need to state the reasons for your absence in court and provide an undertaking that you will appear in future hearings. The court will review your request and decide whether to cancel the non bailable warrant.

To cancel an NBW (Non-Bailable Warrant), you first need to check the type of case in which it was issued. If it is a cheque-bouncing case, then the court may cancel NBW upon a proper request. However, if it is a state case, you should verify the specific sections under which the warrant was issued. You must also provide a valid reason for your failure to appear in court. If you have already appointed an advocate, consult your lawyer for the correct legal process on how to cancel the NBW warrant.

You can appear before the court and submit an application for cancellation of the non bailable warrant. In your application, you must clearly mention the reason for your absence on the previous hearing date. If the court finds the reason valid, it may cancel the NBW but could also impose a cost or penalty. If you are unsure about the procedure, it is advisable to consult a legal expert for proper guidance on how to cancel non bailable warrant.
