The Delhi High Court ruled that non-bailable warrants issued against U.K.-based entrepreneur Sachin Dev Duggal in an Enforcement Directorate money laundering investigation tied to Videocon did not meet legal requirements. NBWs under Section 73 of the CrPC are reserved for those who are convicted, proclaimed offenders, or accused of a non-bailable offence who are evading arrest. Duggal’s status as a witness disqualified the issuance of such warrants. This order sets a judicial precedent on the scope and limits of issuing NBWs in financial crime probes, underscoring procedural safeguards against misuse of coercive measures.
