Section 84 BNS | Proclamation Lifted on Conditional Payment + Court Appearance, Not Full Settlement: Himachal HC

The Himachal Pradesh High Court set aside a proclaimed offender order under Section 84 BNS not upon full repayment, but on the accused’s binding undertaking to pay the cheque amount within a week and appear on a specified date, with costs imposed. This establishes a new procedural pathway where partial compliance and judicial oversight can suspend proclamation - a significant shift for cheque bounce accused seeking to avoid arrest without full restitution.
