It transpires from perusal of the PUD, that the case is currently at the stage of recording the statement of the accused. However, the accused, Ajay Devda, resident of State of Rajasthan, has remained absent, and due to his residence being outside the jurisdiction, the arrest warrant could not be executed.

Accordingly, this CRMP stands disposed off with the aforesaid direction. 7.
