OrderView PDF

Case Summary: ST No. 3419/2020 The Judicial First Class Magistrate II, Kanjirappally dropped proceedings against Shivaprakash, accused of traffic violations under IPC Section 279 and Motor Vehicles Act Sections 185, 3(1), 181, 146, and 196. Despite repeated summons since May 2020, police could not locate the accused at the provided address, with costs of locating him far exceeding the maximum fine imposable. The court found this a fit case to apply Section 258 of CrPC (now Section 281 of BNSS 2023), permitting stoppage where prosecution demonstrates reasonable efforts to secure the accused's presence have failed and such costs exceed potential penalties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
