MOTILAL GOPILAL OSWAL vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH — SLP(Crl) No. 3441/2021

Summary: The Supreme Court disposed of the petition and directed the petitioner, Motilal Gopilal Oswal, to first exhaust the remedy of discharge application before the Trial Court rather than pursuing quashing under Section 482 CrPC. The Court held that a non-bailable warrant alone cannot bar quashing relief, and kept the arrest warrant in abeyance for three weeks to allow the petitioner to apply for discharge and recall of warrant before the Trial Court, with liberty to challenge any adverse discharge decision or renew the quashing prayer thereafter.
