BNS Section 351 | Threatening Conduct Beyond Legal Notice Constitutes Criminal Intimidation : Meghalaya HC Reinforces Bhajan Lal Quashing Parameters
Meghalaya High Court rules that threats extending beyond a legal notice prima facie disclose an offence under Section 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, distinguishing Manik Taneja. The judgment clarifies that mere legal notices may not suffice, but overt intimidation-including video evidence-justifies FIR continuation, reinforcing the Bhajan Lal quashing thresholds for criminal intimidation cases.
