Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Joby Sebastian (ST No. 3471/2021) The Kanjirappally Magistrate Court dropped proceedings against Joby Sebastian on April 23, 2026, for offenses under IPC Section 279 and Motor Vehicles Act Section 184(1). Despite repeated summons issued since January 2021, police could not locate the accused at the provided address, and the cost of continued efforts far exceeded the maximum fine imposable. Applying Section 258 of CrPC (now Section 281 of BNSS) based on Kerala High Court precedent, the magistrate found reasonable grounds to discontinue the case.
