A person who goes under-ground or evades the jurisdiction of the Court is known as

The correct choice is: “Absconder”

An absconder is a person who hides himself or runs away (goes underground) so that the process of the court, such as a warrant, cannot be executed against him. Under Section 82 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, a court may publish a written proclamation requiring a person who has absconded or is concealing himself to appear; a person who fails to appear can be declared a “proclaimed offender” and his property can be attached (Section 83).

An “Offender” is anyone who commits an offence, whether or not he evades the court. An “Absentee” is merely someone who is not present, for whatever reason. “Under-ground” describes the act of hiding but is not the legal term for the person.
