Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pakistan

Absconder is the person that doesn't get arrested and doesn't appear in the court being an accused in the criminal case. There are always arrest warrants issued on the name of accused. The best way an absconder can do is that he can file a petition for bail before arrest along with an application for cancellation of warrants. Once bail is granted by the court and the complainent doesnt follow the proceedings then a petition of 249-A for acquital can be moved to end up the case. For more do consult me at [email protected]
