My husband and I are facing a 498A case. Today was the 313 stage, but one of the three accused was absent. His 317 application was filed, but the judge rejected it and issued a bailable warrant of ₹20,000. What should we do now?

As the judge rejected the 317 application and issued a bailable warrant, the absent accused needs to appear in court with the bail amount within the stipulated time. Failing to do so could lead to further legal complications, and it’s crucial to consult with a lawyer regarding the specific legal options available in this situation.
