Legal Opinion: Can Complaint Be Withdrawn?

High Drama ensued in Hyderabad after the arrest of Allu Arjun on Friday in the Sandhya Theater Stampede Case. One woman named Revathi was spot dead and her son was on a ventilator till today.

While the proceedings are happening in the court on a possible remand or bail, Revathi’s husband appeared on a TV Channel and announced that Allu Arjun is not at all related to the stampede and he would withdraw the case.

Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with queries if the complaint can be withdrawn in the case of a death.

Section 230 of BNSS outlines the rights of complainants.

A complainant can withdraw a complaint under Section 230 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS) if they satisfy the Magistrate with sufficient grounds. This can be done before a final order is passed.

Those who filed the complaint can withdraw the case but the magistrate has to agree to it.

Here, Allu Arjun did not do it intentionally, so the magistrate has a high chance of agreeing. But the process will take time.

In this case, since the Victim and the Complainant are the same, this becomes easier.

But then, there is a legal process for withdrawing the case and it will take time.

This complaint withdrawl is unlikely to take any part in the High Court today deciding on the Quash Petition and Interim Bail for the actor.
