A.Dear Client,

An offense under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) is considered non-bailable. When summoned by the court, if an accused appears without obtaining anticipatory bail, there is a possibility of being taken into custody. It's crucial for every accused, unless exempted by the Trial Officer (Magistrate or Judge), to be present for every court date. Failure to attend may lead the Judge or Magistrate to issue a Non-Bailable Warrant in the name of the accused, compelling their attendance in the next scheduled hearing. It emphasizes the importance of complying with court appearances unless granted specific exemptions by the judicial authority.

A.Dear Client,
Offense under Section 498A IPC is non-bailable and the Court issues summons to the accused. Once you appear upon receiving the summons without obtaining anticipatory bail, the Court may send you to custody. Unless specifically exempted by the Trial Officer (Magistrate or Judge), every accused has to always be present for every single court date, otherwise, the Judge/Magistrate will issue a Non-Bailable Warrant in the name of the accused to compel attendance in the next date of hearing.
