Me and my 2 brothers didn't attend court from starting since we are staying in abroad. Court issued NBW on us. We applied in HC to recall NBW. HC recalled NBWs and directed police to issue 41a crpc notice before arrest. My brother (A3) went to police station and signed on 41a crpc and got station bail. After few days S.I informed my brother to go trial court to recall NBW. Our advocate is telling that surety is required at the time of recall NBW. Please advise on below, * Why he need to go trial court to recall NBW again. is it correct procedure? * Will court ask passport at that time ? * Will me and my other brother follow the same procedure to recall NBW or any other process

your brother needs to go to trial court for recalling NBW
2) court can impose conditions for grant of bail . that you shall not leave country with court permission
3) court can ask for accused to deposit passport
1. Since NBW is issued he needs to first surrender himself and apply for bail. Once he gets that recall order is also passed.
2. In 498A cases such event is very unlikely.
3. Yes, all the persons in similar situation will have to adhere to the same procedure.
NBW needs to be recalled from the court which has issued the order. The order of HC is a direction issued to trial court to allow application under section 70(2) to recall of warrant. Once station bail is granted once notice is served again you people need to take bail from court at that juncture you need to present again surety for your appearance. Court can ask you to surrender your passport to secure your presence. Both of you need to follow the same procedure.
Dear Querist,
We can advise you better if you can share the HC order passed in your matter.
However, as far as I can sense you know need to face trial and on the date fixed you need to appear in the trial court and apply for bail.
Q: Why he need to go trial court to recall NBW again. is it correct procedure ?
A: No its not.
Q:Will court ask passport at that time ?
A: It Might ask at the time of granting bail.
Q: Will me and my other brother follow the same procedure to recall NBW or any other process.
A: Get the NBW quashed from the HC. Then appear before the trial court and take bail.
Dear Sir,
My answers are as follows:
* Why he need to go trial court to recall NBW again. is it correct procedure?
Ans: The Court has issued NBW not the police so you must appear before the Court and produce the orders of the HC and furnish surety to the satisfaction of Magistrate and get recall NBW. Police cannot recall NBW they are only executing authorities. There must be endorsement in court records having recalled NBW as per the orders of High Cout.
* Will court ask passport at that time ?
Ans: If there is no such condition in HC order then the Trial Court never ask the passport.
* Will me and my other brother follow the same procedure to recall NBW or any other process
Ans: Out of my experience as judge I am telling above. If any doubt arise then please call me through this website.

YOU MAY PLEASE SEE THE LAND MARK JUDGMENT OF SC ON THIS MATTER

21.To sum up the findings rendered by me, it is reiterated that the issuance of Bailable Warrant or Non Bailable Warrant should be exercised with extreme caution and in the rarest of cases, bearing in mind that the pendency of Non Bailable Warrant is one of the major factors for the long pendency of cases before the trial Court. The trial Court shall also scrupulously follow the guidelines imposed in Inder Mohan Gowsami's case (supra) as well as the observations made in the present case while issuing Non Bailable Warrants or recalling the Non Bailable Warrants.

CRIMINAL PETITON No.2804 OF 2018 ORDER: This petition is filed seeking for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners, who are A1 to A6, in Crime No.------ of 2016 on the file of ---------- Police Station, ----------- District.

The public prosecutor submits that Section 41A Cr.P.C. notice was issued to A2, A5 and A6 and that NBWs are pending against A1, A3 and A4. 4. Hence, considering the facts of the case and considering the above submissions made by the public prosecutor, this Court is inclined to recall the NBWs issued against A1, A3 and A4 and the police are directed to issue 41A Cr.P.C. notice to all the accused before arrest. 5. Accordingly and with the above direction, this criminal petition is disposed of. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in this case shall stand closed.

2. If you fail or refuse to address the notice issued under section 41A of Cr.P.C.served upon you, fresh NBW might be issued against you ans at that time it will be difficult for you to get it recalled.

Yes it is a procedure to be followed as per law
* Will court ask passport at that time ?
No, court may not insist on production of passport
* Will me and my other brother follow the same procedure to recall NBW or any other process
Yes.
The high court order to recall the NBW has to be executed in the trial court that is what is called as the procedure.
Generally the court which issues the nbw cancels it. You need to go to trail court. No passport will not be taken as you have right to employment. The same can be done by your lawyer and on next date if directed by court you need to attend the court. It can be cancelled without your presence there is a Bombay high court judgement. You can take telephonic consultation from me through Kaanoon if you need.
As per the order of the High court, you'll have to approach trial court to recall NBW and it is a direction by the Superior Court to the subordinate Court to allow your application.
You should enclose copy of the order of the High Court along with the cancellation of nbw application in trial court.
Respected Lawyers, In my 498a case, settlement/compromise was done yesterday at out side the court. We agreed to pay amount to my wife. My divorce petition under Sec 13 (1)(ia) is pending at court which was filed before 498a case. Please clarify below. 1) What is the procedure to close 498a on me and 5 of my family members (Recall of NBW is pending on me and my brother. We both are staying in abroad) 2) What is procedure to get divorce from court? 3) Can I use my divorce petition Sec 13 (1)(ia) or do we need to file Mutual consent divorce petition.
Dear Querist,
You may file a 482 petition at high court having jurisdiction with the copy of compromise agreement annexed to it, the high court will quash the matter forthwith.
You need to file a fresh petition for getting divorce through mutual consent.
Regards
file for quashing of FIR in HC based on settlement arrived at with wife
2) she has to file consent affidavit in petition filed by you for quashing
3) you can file petition family court to convert existing petition into divorce by mutual consent supported by affidavit signed by both parties
You'll have to file a petition under section 482 CRPC in High Court for quashing of FIR and entire criminal proceedings against you and your family by way of mutual consent.
Your existing petition can be converted into a mutual divorce petition and statements of both the sides can be recorded. There would be 2 motions of divorce. The cool off period of 6 months is also not required to be served in certain situations as per recent Supreme Court judgement. You can get mutual divorce within one month, if you file an application for waiving off cooling period.
1. For recall of NBW a petition to be filed before the court under which the NBW is pending.
For filing this petition under section 70(2) cr.p.c., the persons against whom the NBW is pending have to surrender before the court, provide sufficient sureties for recalling non bailable warrant.
You both have to come down to India and surrender before get the warrant agaisnt you recalled and then file a petition under section 482 before high court seeking to quash the 498a charge sheet, she has to file an affidavit expressing her no objection to this.
2. The divorce case can be withdrawn and file a fresh petition under section 13B for mutual consent divorce, this will be be better option for now.
3. Read the above answer
Since matter is compromised your wife the complainant needs to withdraw same before court as not pressed.
Secondly you people can apply for mutual consent divorce that must be your priority since 13(1)(Ia) is a contested petition. So you need to withdraw and file fresh petition under Section 13-B for mutual divorce
1. She shall have to execute an affidavit affirming that she had lodged the said police complaint u/s498A of IPC based on domestic rage which has been settled by and between herself and all the accused. Thereafter you should file a petition before the High Court u/s482 of Cr.P.C. praying for quashing the FIR and in that case your wife shall have to be present in the court and depose in your favour, if asked the Court.
2. You can negotiate with your wife to agree for the mutual consent divorce on agreed terms which will be disposed off within 6 & 1/2 months from the date of filing of the MCD petition.
3. You both can file a joint petition for converting your divorce petition to MCD petition as per the terms agreed by both of you which will be accepted by the Court.
