The Punjab and Haryana High Court recently said that a person cannot be said to have absconded or evaded arrest if he has gone to a distant place before the warrant of arrest. The court was hearing a case where a person was declared a proclaimed offender under Section 82 CrPC for evading arrest. However, the court discovered that the person lived abroad even before the warrant was issued at an address in the country. Justice Sandeep Moudgil set aside the proclamation order and said, "A person cannot be said to be “abscond” or “evade” the execution of warrant when he had gone to a distant place before the issue of the warrant." HC on Minor Girl Impregnated: Punjab and Haryana High Court Quashes Rape Case Against Youth for Consensually Impregnating Minor Wife.
