Impugned non bailable warrant has wrongly been and illegally issued by the concerned Court below against the applicant. 4-On the other hand learned Additional Government Advocate contended that in this case, charge sheet has been submitted on 11.08.2016 and non-bailable warrant has been issued in the year 06.03.2023 and since then applicant is absconding. 5-Admittedly, order sheet of the lower Court indicate that applicant is playing hide and seek with the Court and wants this Court to come to his rescue by exercising its inherent jurisdiction. On account of non appearance of the applicant before the Court concerned, non bailable warrant has been issued against him. 6-Having considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties and looking into the conduct of the applicant in the lower court, I find no good ground to interfere with the order of lower court issuing non-bailable warrant. 7-In view of the above, the relief claimed by the applicant is refused. 8-The application lacks merit and is accordingly dismissed.
