P.S. Bori vs Nirakar Haribandhu Shahu — 274/2021

The court stopped criminal proceedings against the accused Nirakar under Section 258 of the Criminal Procedure Code after 17 years of pending case, as the accused's whereabouts remained unknown despite reasonable efforts and the possibility of locating him appeared remote. The accused was deemed discharged and the pending warrant was recalled, considering that continuing the matter would serve no purpose given the minor nature of the offences (Sections 279 and 427 of IPC).
