Once an arrest warrant is issued in an execution application, it is technically enforceable immediately. The police are not legally required to wait until the Next Date of Hearing (NDOH) to execute it. Their mandate is to produce the accused before the court as soon as possible.

Issuance of a warrant by the MC Court in an execution proceeding does not automatically mean that the accused will be arrested immediately. Since the warrant has been issued through the concerned JCP, the police may execute it at any time after receiving and processing the warrant. If the accused appears before the Court before execution of the warrant and files an appropriate application (such as recall/cancellation of warrant, exemption, or compliance in execution proceedings), the Court may consider granting relief depending upon the facts and conduct of the accused. The police can keep the warrant pending for execution once it is received by them, and they are empowered to execute the same in accordance with law. However, whether immediate arrest will take place depends upon the manner and urgency with which the warrant is processed and executed.

Once the court issues an arrest warrant and is received by relevant police station, the police are empowered to execute it immediately they don’t have to wait for Next Date of Hearing. Through Joint Commissioner of Police usually ensures the police station prioritizes the execution. Police cannot hold warrant.

Hi there, the police will execute the warrant before the NODH. No police cannot hold the warrant they have to execute with due compliance. However, it's unclear as to what your intentions are therefore it's suggested to contact me and provide more details to assist you better.

After issuance of arrest warrants, the accused can be arrested anytime. However we need to see whether it is bailable warrants or non bailable warrants issued against the accused. For further query feel free to connect Thanks
