Advocate evading Non-Bailable Warrant of CJM Court in cheating case arrested

The Coimbatore Unit of CB CID police on Tuesday arrested Saravanan Karuppasamy, an advocate against whom a Non-Bailable Warrant issued by the Chief Judicial Magistrate of the District Court was pending, and had him remanded in judicial custody.

A police team arrested the advocate, who is said to be a Member of Supreme Court Bar Association, as he had failed to appear in the CJM Court for hearings, for trial in alleged cheating cases booked in 2010, even after his appeal in the Madras High Court for recall of NBW dispense with appearance in the Trial Court was dismissed last month.

The High Court order stated that the petitioner is not entitled to seek relief without submitting himself to the Trial Court.
