CrPC S. 82, 83 – Issuing a proclamation under Section 82 doesn’t amount to any attachment unless the Magistrate specifically issues an order of attachment. [210 PLRIJ 043]

• The Criminal Procedure Code, 1974, outlines two separate orders under Sections 82 and 83.
• Section 82 requires the court to publish a proclamation, if the person against whom a warrant has been issued absconds or conceals themselves.
• This proclamation should state that the person needs to appear at a specified place and time, not less than 30 days from the proclamation's publishing date.
• Section 83 allows for an order of attachment of any property belonging to the person proclaimed under Section 82.
• The order of attachment can be issued at the same time as the proclamation, as stated under Section 83(1).
• In the given case, a proclamation under Section 82 has already been published.
• However, an order of attachment must still be specifically issued by the Magistrate under Section 83.
• Issuing a proclamation under Section 82 doesn't amount to any attachment unless the Magistrate specifically issues an order of attachment.
