Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh, a businessman in Mumbai, files a lawsuit against his former business partner, Suresh, claiming that Suresh owes him ₹10 lakhs. During the proceedings, Rajesh learns that Suresh is planning to leave India for an indefinite period. Rajesh fears that if Suresh leaves, it will be difficult to enforce any court decree in his favor. Rajesh submits an affidavit to the court, stating his concerns and providing evidence of Suresh's travel plans. The court, satisfied with the evidence, issues a warrant for Suresh's arrest to ensure he appears in court and does not leave the country without furnishing security for his appearance.

Example 2:

Meena, a resident of Delhi, sues her tenant, Ravi, for unpaid rent amounting to ₹2 lakhs. During the lawsuit, Meena discovers that Ravi has sold his car and is planning to move to another city to avoid the court process. Meena submits an affidavit to the court, detailing Ravi's actions and her belief that he is trying to evade the legal proceedings. The court, convinced by Meena's affidavit, issues a warrant for Ravi's arrest to ensure he does not abscond and is present for the court hearings. Ravi is given the option to pay the amount specified in the warrant to avoid arrest, which will be held by the court until the case is resolved.
