Without recording such subjective satisfaction to effect that accused is also evading his arrest, which should be on basis of materials placed before Court, warrant of arrest cannot be issued - This satisfaction can be derived from police paper/ case diary - Mere absence of the accused cannot give rise to a presumption that he is evading arrest, which in turn cannot be sole ground to issue warrant of arrest - Matter is remitted back to concerned court to proceed afresh in accordance with law – Petition disposed of.
