Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the issuance of a non-bailable warrant against the appellant was unjustified under Section 324 IPC, as the warrant had been cancelled prior to the attempted arrest. The Court emphasized the duty of police officers to verify the status of warrants before execution, particularly when informed of their cancellation. The Court affirmed the High Court's order for the police officer to pay costs from his own account, reinforcing accountability in law enforcement actions.
