Section 528 BNSS | Unexplained 18-Year Delay in Complaint Vitiates FIR: Telangana HC Grants Interim Stay
Telangana High Court rules that an FIR lodged after an 18-year delay without reasonable explanation cannot sustain criminal proceedings under Section 528 BNSS. The Court emphasized that prior land clearance and unexplained lapse render allegations unsustainable, reinforcing the threshold for quashing FIRs marred by inordinate delays.
