Judgement

The court dropped proceedings against accused Manoj P C for an offense under Section 118(a) Kerala Police Act 1960. Despite repeated summons issued since April 2021, police could not locate the accused at the provided address, and the costs of locating him far exceeded the potential fine. Applying Section 281 of BNSS and Kerala High Court precedent, the magistrate found it appropriate to discontinue the case given the disproportionate enforcement costs relative to the minor offense. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
