šŸ˜‰ A random thought, so please spare me😳
Ok, since I'm not a law person, I was wondering what will happen if Arjun and Arohi were real people.
As in, what if some one is wrongly charged with murder and then the person tries escaping and then later it is proved that the person is actually innocent?? Will he still be punished for running awayšŸ˜•
Thanks!!

I know the least abt law so not gonna embaras myself by talking abt it šŸ˜† But going by humane intuitions I personally feel that person shud not be punished!! After all agar 'ek sach ko saabit karne ke liye sau jhoot bhi bole toh galat nahi hai' 😃

True, but I was just wondering...if he runs away, it'll be contempt of court, but it was the court's fault to wrongly punish himšŸ˜•...what a weird situationšŸ˜†

here in this case he cld be charged for intention to kill clause but I dont think they will do since he did not act on it. ab jail se paraar hone ke liye they wont punish him sicne he was convicted of attempt to murder which he did not do.

hehe...good question. i dont have any law knowledge either..but, i will make a guess.😊

since the accused will be proven innocent of the original charges...the later breaking of law so as to avoid the previous injustice should not count. šŸ˜›

Good that you raised such a question. Do you know there are thousands of people who were either imprisoned or hanged till death all over the world for the crimes they have never committed. This is the pathetic side of miscarriage of justice specially the criminal justice system.

There are people whose convictions were quashed after 40-50 years they being hanged. This is how the pressure works on public authorities. Whenever a crime occurs there will definitely be huge social out cry to find the culprit. That puts a great pressure on the police. So basically what they try to do is take someone into custody and prosecute him .

This results in sometimes taking the life of a innocent person. These things can't be avoided until the required support from the society is provided to the public authorities. Hope such a disaster would not happen to Arjun. Even though it happened to him I don't care because this is only another serial. But feel very sad of those innocent people who suffer injustices actually.

Going back to your question if new evidence can be adduced to show that arjun is innocent his conviction will be quashed. However still he has to be prosecuted along with arohi(abetting and conspiracy) for his escape from jail which is another criminal offence. In my country they will either be imprisoned or imprisoned for 20 years and shall be liable to fine also at the discretion of the judge.

But don't worry I don't think that cv's will go that further as this is not a serial which shows how the law functions.šŸ˜†

Well i guess the person would be charged for running away. That is why they have different levels of courts we reappeal in the highers courts if we want cases to be reviewed.
Although when the person knows that they haven't done anything wrong then they def wanna run away on thr own
