    Case Summary: State of Kerala v. Joseph (477/2021) The court dropped proceedings against Joseph under Section 281 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNSS) for an alleged offense under Section 118(a) of the Kerala Police Act 1960. Despite repeated summons issued since March 2021, police could not locate the accused at the provided address. The magistrate found that the costs of continued search efforts far exceeded the maximum fine imposable for the offense and that reasonably sufficient attempts had been made to secure the accused's presence.
