Wrong name given by the accused man to police to register a face case

863 votes

If the third person's name has been mentioned only in the disclosure statement of the co-accused and there is no independent evidence connecting him with the alleged transportation or possession of liquor, then mere naming by the co-accused is not sufficient to establish guilt. He should immediately apply for anticipatory bail (if apprehending arrest) or regular bail (if arrested), cooperate with the investigation, and collect evidence showing that he had no role in the alleged offence. If the police file a charge sheet without any corroborative evidence, he may also seek discharge or approach the High Court for quashing, depending on the facts of the case. The outcome will depend on the evidence collected during investigation, not merely on the statement of the co-accused. Consult a local criminal lawyer with the FIR and case documents for appropriate legal action.

sirf kisi co-accused ke statement par kisi nirdosh vyakti ko doshi nahi maana ja sakta. Police ko us vyakti ke khilaf independent evidence jaise call records, recovery, ownership, financial transaction, location evidence ya anya corroborative material dikhana hoga. Agar aapka is ghatna se koi sambandh nahi hai aur sirf naam liya gaya hai, to aap anticipatory bail (agar avashyak ho) aur FIR/quashing ke liye High Court ka sahara le sakte hain. Case ki FIR, seizure list aur anya documents dekhkar hi sahi legal strategy tay ki ja sakti hai. Isliye kisi criminal lawyer se documents ke saath salah lekar turant uchit kanooni kadam uthaiye.

If the FIR is lodged in the case and your name is in the FIR the you have to go for quashing the FIR in High Court under section 528 of the BNSS. However, first i have to go through the contents of the FIR.

Being named by arrested persons does not automatically make someone guilty, but it would be a serious mistake to assume that the police will not proceed further. In Bihar liquor cases, once a person's name surfaces during investigation, the police may attempt to connect call records, financial transactions, vehicle ownership details, location data, or other circumstantial evidence to strengthen the case. The real danger is not the allegation itself — it is waiting until the police take coercive action. Many innocent persons ignore the matter initially and later find themselves facing arrest, charge-sheet proceedings, or prolonged litigation. If (***) has genuinely no connection with the liquor, vehicle, or transportation, his defence must be built immediately through documents, electronic records, and a carefully planned legal strategy. The FIR, statements of the accused, and the exact allegations need to be examined before any step is taken. A timely legal intervention can often make the difference between being unnecessarily dragged into a criminal case and protecting your liberty from the outset. Sangam & Sagar Law Office LLP regularly handles criminal defence, false implication, excise matters, anticipatory bail, and High Court proceedings. If the police have started naming innocent persons, the matter should be assessed urgently before the investigation progresses further. Adv.
