Allahabad High Court Rejects Plea Of Accused Absconding For 30 Years To Recall 2025 Conviction In 1982 Murder Case

The Allahabad High Court dismissed an application by an accused who had absconded for nearly 30 years, seeking recall of his conviction order in a 1982 murder case. The Court observed that prolonged evasion of trial amounts to abuse of process and disentitles the accused from equitable relief. The article details the factual background, procedural history, and judicial reasoning emphasising accountability for fugitives. It underscores the principle that abscondence undermines the administration of justice and that delay due to the accused’s own conduct cannot be grounds for recall.
