In India, a non-bailable warrant (NBW) wouldn't be issued in the scenario you described (filing a case for non-payment of money). Here's a breakdown of the process: Non-bailable Warrants (NBWs) for Non-Payment Not Applicable: NBWs are typically used for cognizable offenses (serious crimes punishable with imprisonment). Non-payment of debt isn't a cognizable offense. What Happens After Filing a Case Court Appearance: After you file a case for non-payment, the court will likely issue a summons for the other party (the debtor) to appear and respond to the allegations.Proceedings: The court will then follow established procedures to hear arguments from both sides, assess evidence (e.g., contracts, loan agreements), and potentially order the debtor to repay the debt.Execution: If the debtor fails to comply with the court's order, the court might consider options like attachment of their property or bank accounts to enforce the order and recover your money. Section 156(3) of CrPC This section empowers a Magistrate (judicial officer) to direct the police to investigate a cognizable offense, even if the police haven't registered an FIR (First Information Report) themselves. It wouldn't be relevant in your case of non-payment.
1. FIR will be issued by the court. 2. After registration of FIR Arrest warrant will be issued.
