20-Nov-2024 (In Criminal Law)
Long time ago, all courts issue summons, warrant and proclaimed offender status without police investigation, evidence or enquiry. Complainants had freedom to harass defendants who living outside jurisdiction. After 2005 change in law, people now abusing 'missing person' status to seek vengeance against defendants living outside jurisdiction. If court issue 'missing person' status again you, how can you void 'missing person status' without court application because you outside jurisdiction?
