PLEASE MEMBER KINLDY SUGGEST:-

WE HAVE FILED A PRIVATE COMPLAINT UNDER SECTION 500 OF I.P.C., THE ACCUSED HAS BEEN DECLARED PROCLAIMED OFFENDER, BUT HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY PROPERTY IN HIS NAME SO THAT IT CAN GET ATTACHED. SINCE THE ACCUSED IS ABSCONDING ALL THE WARRANTS ARE PENDING AND COULD NOT GET SERVED UPON THE HIM. WHAT FURTHER STEPS WE SHOULD TAKE? WHETHER WE SHOULD CONTINUE WITH THE CASE OR WE WITHDRAW?

If the procedure of keeping a case on dormant file is available in your state,request the judge to keep the case on dormant file. once it is kept on dormant file, it can be taken up at any time after the accused is found.
