Section 232 BNS | Threat to Withdraw Complaint Insufficient for Offence: Kerala HC Grants Pre-Arrest Bail
Kerala High Court rules that merely pressuring a complainant to withdraw a case does not meet the threshold of 'threatening to give false evidence' under Section 232 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The court clarifies the statutory intent and grants pre-arrest bail, setting a precedent for bail jurisprudence under the new criminal code.
