A warrant case in the legal context refers to a criminal matter where the court issues an arrest warrant for more serious offenses, typically punishable by imprisonment exceeding two years. Initiated through an FIR or complaint, the magistrate issues an arrest warrant if there is prima facie evidence. The accused is formally charged, and the trial involves a more elaborate process, with the court ensuring the accused's understanding of the charges. Obtaining bail in warrant cases, especially for non-bailable offenses, is a detailed process. Appeals can be made to higher courts if dissatisfied with the trial judgment.
