GUIDELINES ON NEW IPC SECTIONS Absconders, proclaimed offenders to be dealt with sternly by police

Those who fail to appear in the Court as required without a sufficient reason after being charged with an offence and released on bail or on bond without sureties will be punished with imprisonment of up to a year or fine or both.

Section 229A AND Section 174A has been added to the IPC. The former penalizes those who fail to appear in court as and when required without sufficient reason while the latter deals with an absconding person against whom a written proclamation is published by the Court under Section 82 of the Cr.P.C.
