Section 82 CrPC | Proclaimed Offender Declaration Requires Proof of Deliberate Evasion, Not Mere Non-Service : Delhi HC
The court quashed a 2014 proclaimed offender declaration after the CBI failed to serve summons at the accused's known Australian address. Section 82 CrPC demands proof of deliberate evasion, not mere non-service; the invalid proclamation does not affect arrest warrants, the INTERPOL Red Notice, or extradition.
