Lawful Authority Justified Actions

Summary

**Mr. Bhushan, Mr. Mahesh, and Mr. Mayur were convicted based on circumstantial evidence and contradictions in witness statements. Mr. Bhushan acted within his lawful duties under Section 23 of the Police Act, 1861, and Section 49, which grants police officers the power to apprehend offenders without a warrant. Mr. Rakeshs refusal to comply and attempt to flee constituted obstruction under Section 132 of the Indiana Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Case laws such as State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (1992) and Vijay Singh v. State of U.P. (1990) support the lawful use of necessary force by police officers. The discrepancies in Mr. Mahesh and Mr. Mayurs statements should be viewed as honest mistakes, not intentional deceit, as supported by Sharad Birdhichand Sarda v. State of Maharashtra (1984

Drug trafficking is a grave offense that undermines public trust and disrupts societal order. Mr. Mahesh and Mr. Mayur, working as check-post personnel, were tasked with vehicle inspections under the direct supervision of Mr. Bhushan, who had lawful authority to oversee these operations. Their roles were to execute routine duties amidst high-pressure conditions, which inherently increases the likelihood of human error. The discrepancies observed in their statements about the quantity of marijuana should be viewed as honest mistakes rather than deliberate falsifications. As individuals tasked with administrative responsibilities, they were not trained investigators and had limited expertise in handling such complex situations. Their primary function was to assist with inspections and maintain records. Given their adherence to standard procedures, the lack of evidence showing malicious intent, and the absence of direct proof of deliberate wrongdoing, it is reasonable to conclude that their errors were unintentional. These mistakes should not be construed as criminal behavior but rather as an outcome of the challenging circumstances under which they operated....make this arguement better

As administrative workers, they were not trained investigators, and their role was limited to assisting with inspections and maintaining records under high-pressure conditions.

**Argument on Mr. Rakesh's Obstruction and Mr. Bhushan's Justified Response:**
*. **Initial Encounter:**
- When Mr. Rakesh was stopped by Mr. Bhushan at the check post, he refused to cooperate by stating he was not bound to listen to a subordinate officer and signaled Mr. Bhushan to step aside.

will section * and * of bns be applicable?

Based on the information provided, Section * and Section * of the Indiana Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) could be relevant depending on their specific provisions. Generally, in many legal codes, sections numbered in the 40s might deal with criminal liability, the acts of individuals, or the principles of culpability.
To determine their applicability, please provide the specific provisions of Sections * and * of the BNS. This will help in evaluating whether they are relevant to the issues at hand.
Would you like to share the contents of those sections or need further assistance on another aspect of your case?

Section * – Definition of Abetment Section * delineates the act of abetment, categorizing it into instigation, conspiracy, and intentional aid. It clarifies that willful misrepresentation or concealment leading to the procurement of a criminal act constitutes instigation. Illustration: Consider a scenario where A, a public officer, misrepresents the identity of Z to B, leading to the wrongful apprehension of C. In this case, B is abetted by instigation to apprehend C. Section * – Abetment of an Offence Section * expands the scope of abetment, stating that abetting the illegal omission of an act can be an offense, even if the abettor is not bound to perform the act. Illustration: If A instigates B to murder C, and B refuses, A is still guilty of abetting B to commit...shoult i add them?

Based on the definitions and illustrations provided for Section * (Definition of Abetment) and Section * (Abetment of an Offence) of the Indiana Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), it appears that these sections deal with the concept of abetment, which involves instigating, conspiring, or intentionally aiding in the commission of an offense.
Given the context of your case, where Mr. Bhushan acted under his lawful authority to prevent drug trafficking and Mr. Rakesh attempted to evade inspection, these sections might not be directly relevant. Instead, the focus should remain on the lawful authority, obstruction of duty, and the absence of malafide intention.
Including Sections * and * could potentially complicate the argument by introducing the concept of abetment, which does not appear to be central to the facts of your case.

Recommendation:
It is advisable to focus on the arguments related to lawful authority, obstruction under Section * of the BNS, and the actions taken in good faith under Sections * and * of the Police Act, *.
If you still wish to include Sections * and *, consider how they might be framed to support your argument, but ensure they do not dilute the
