No Sanction Quash: The appellant’s official duty would be in furtherance of the act and covered with section 197 Cr.P.C r/w 83 M.P Housing Board Act 1972
A mere statement without intention would not attract offence
Section 174A IPC [section 209 BNS 2023] is a stand alone, independent and substantive offence that can continue even if the proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. is extinguished
High Court would be justified in quashing the proceedings if the allegations taken in its entirety do not prima facie constitute a case against the accused
Remember me
