Example 1:
Rajesh is accused of theft and the police need to arrest him. The magistrate issues a warrant of arrest for Rajesh. The warrant is a written document, signed by the magistrate, and bears the official seal of the court. The police receive this warrant and proceed to arrest Rajesh. The warrant remains valid until Rajesh is either arrested or the court decides to cancel the warrant.
Example 2:
Priya is suspected of fraud and the court issues a warrant for her arrest. The warrant is properly documented, signed by the judge, and has the court's seal. Priya goes into hiding, and the police are unable to find her immediately. The warrant does not expire and remains in effect until the police successfully arrest Priya or the court decides to cancel the warrant due to new evidence or other legal reasons.
