The Supreme Court recently dealt with such a situation, highlighting a significant gap in the current system that may require closer examination.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:center\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">A bench of <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice A.G.

He was charged under <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\"><strong>Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120B of the IPC, along with Section 66(D) of the IT Act, 2000<\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The Jharkhand High Court granted him bail on May 13, 2022. However, instead of following the conditions, the accused absconded to Nigeria, making it impossible for the authorities to bring him to trial.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">The State of Jharkhand then approached the Supreme Court, seeking cancellation of the bail. In November 2024, the Court expressed concern about a growing trend of foreign nationals accused in India simply jumping bail and becoming untraceable. It said that a proper procedure should be put in place to handle such cases.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">Later, the Union informed the Court about certain guidelines framed on the basis of a Ministry of Home Affairs order dated 04.12.2019, which dealt with investigation abroad, issuing of Letters Rogatory (LRs), MLA requests, and service of summons or judicial documents in criminal cases. But the Court felt these did not go far enough to address the specific problem of absconding foreign nationals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align:justify\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Georgia,serif\">In December 2024, the Supreme Court formally cancelled the bail and directed both the Union and the State to take all possible steps to bring the accused back.
