Notice as to Absconding Accused
Notice as to absconding accused-The notice with regard to the absconding accused was not published in two widely circulated newspapers, as required under section 339B(1) of the Code, rather, it was published in two dailies, namely, 'Karatoa' and 'Nowab', of which the latter was hardly known and was far from being widely circulated. Although the daily 'Nowab' cannot be regarded as having a wide circulation, the other daily has a wide circulation. Therefore, there is substantial compliance with the provisions of section 339B(1) of the Code since prior to such publi- cation, the compliance with the provisions of sections 87 and 88 of the Code of Criminal Proce- dure is found to have been duly complied. State vs Hamidul 61 DLR 614.
The trial Court without taking steps or ascertaining about the compliance of sections 87 and 88 of the Code directed publi- cation of notice. On such facts it cannot be said that the accused was concealing himself from appearing in Court and publication of notice in news-paper and commencing the trial was in clear violation of the mandatory provision of law. So the case is sent back on remand for retrial giving opportunity to the petitioner for cross-examining the PWs already examined. Balayet Howlader vs State 49 DLR 520.
The expression 'in at least one news-paper" occurring in section 339B CrPC is mandatory and, in this view of the matter, the learned Sessions Judge ought to have condoned the delay and should not have dismissed the appeal summarily without deciding the same on merit. The order passed by the learned Sessions Judge on 19-11-1986 dismissing the appeal summarily on the ground of limitation is set aside. Moktar Ahmed vs Haji Farid Alam 42 DLR 162.
