    Case Summary: State v. Mahadev Popalbhat & Others (STC 867/2025) The Judicial Magistrate suspended proceedings under Section 281 of B.N.S.S (Section 258 Cr.P.C.) in this gambling offense case because the three accused have been absent since inception, making normal trial proceedings impossible. The court found the police negligent in securing the accused's presence and invoked established precedent allowing suspension in such circumstances, with liberty to the prosecution to revive proceedings upon arrest or securing presence. The court forfeited seized cash (₹36,390), destroyed worthless items, and ordered motorcycles returned to registered owners after the appeal period expires.
