Quashing Anem From Criminal Case


02-Apr-2025 (In Criminal Law)
My father was a businessman who bought grains on credit from local farmers and sold them to factories. Once, a truckload of sesame seeds worth 80-90 lakhs was lost, and he didn’t have insurance. To cover the loss and pay the farmers, he took loans on our property. However, he couldn’t repay the loans and borrowed from private lenders, which caused the debt to increase. Facing threats from customers, he decided to flee with our family. He consulted a lawyer, but the lawyer never filed the case. Nearly 80 customers filed a fraud case against us. I was a student at the time and had no involvement, but I was included. We were detained for 15 days, and the case continues. My father passed away in 2016, and I learned in 2022 that my name was added to the case. Now, they call us for hearings every week, and I want to know if there’s a way to remove my name from the case at this stage.
