Yes — and you should address it immediately, because an unaddressed non-bailable warrant exposes you to arrest at any time and any place in Bihar. The situation is serious but entirely manageable when the right steps are taken quickly.

Your most direct remedy is to approach the court that issued the warrant and move an application for its recall or cancellation. The application explains the reason for your earlier non-appearance — a missed notice, illness, professional travel, a genuine communication failure — and offers a sincere undertaking to appear at every future hearing. Courts in Patna's Sessions and Magistrate courts are generally receptive where the explanation is credible and the non-appearance was not deliberate evasion. Many non-bailable warrants in Patna are issued mechanically when an accused simply fails to receive notice because an address is incorrect or service failed, and these are among the easiest to recall. A second route is to appear before the court voluntarily — a controlled surrender — upon which the court typically hears an immediate bail application and releases you on bail while the case continues. This converts a coercive situation into a manageable one in a single court date.

Where the warrant has been issued improperly, or where arrest feels imminent and there is no time for the recall application to be heard, an application to the Patna High Court under Section 528 BNSS to stay or quash the warrant is available. The Supreme Court's guidance in Inder Mohan Goswami v. State of Uttaranchal — that non-bailable warrants must not be issued mechanically and should be a last resort — gives your counsel a strong argument where the warrant was issued without the accused having a real opportunity to appear. The criminal defence lawyers at the Patna panel of Aapka Legal Advice can file the recall application and, if needed, arrange a controlled surrender-and-bail in a single coordinated step.

My consistent message on warrants: never go into hiding. Concealment makes everything worse — it signals bad faith to the court and hardens the position against you when you do eventually come forward. Appear through counsel, explain candidly, and the warrant is very often recalled within a single date.
