ABSCONDING PERSONS NOT ENTITLED TO ANTICIPATORY BAIL : SUPREME COURT The Supreme Court stated that a person who is absconding or has been declared a proclaimed offender is not entitled to anticipatory bail. The Court also held that a person will not be entitled to anticipatory bail merely because the nature of accusation arose out of a business transaction. The present case arose after a cheque given by the accused as part of a business transaction came to be dishonoured. An FIR was lodged against the respondent-accused for offences under Sections 406, 407, 468, 506 of the IPC with a warrant of arrest. Regarding the argument that the accusation arose out of a business transaction, the Court held that what is required to be considered is the nature of allegation and the accusation and not that the nature of accusation is arising out of a business transaction.
