Discharge of person informed against
Full Text
If, on an inquiry under section 135, it is not proved that it is necessary for keeping the peace or maintaining good behaviour, as the case may be, that the person in respect of whom the inquiry is made, should execute a bond, the Magistrate shall make an entry on the record to that effect, and if such person is in custody only for the purposes of the inquiry, shall release him, or, if such person is not in custody, shall discharge him.
Plain English Summary
If the inquiry fails to prove the necessity for a bond, the Magistrate must record the finding and release the person from custody or discharge them if they are not in custody.
Key Legal Elements
- Inquiry under Section 135 fails to prove necessity for bond
- Mandatory recording of findings by the Magistrate
- Immediate release of the person if in custody for inquiry purposes
- Discharge of the person if not in custody
Practical Note
This section protects individuals from arbitrary detention or bond requirements when the evidence does not support a threat to peace or behavior.
हिंदी पाठ
यदि धारा 135 के तहत जाँच करने पर यह सिद्ध नहीं होता है कि, यथास्थिति, शांति बनाए रखने या सदाचार बनाए रखने के लिए यह आवश्यक है कि वह व्यक्ति जिसके संबंध में जाँच की गई है, बंधपत्र निष्पादित करे, तो मजिस्ट्रेट रिकॉर्ड पर इस आशय की एक प्रविष्टि करेगा, और यदि ऐसा व्यक्ति केवल जाँच के प्रयोजनों के लिए हिरासत में है, तो उसे रिहा कर देगा, या यदि ऐसा व्यक्ति हिरासत में नहीं है, तो उसे उन्मोचित (discharge) कर देगा।
