362. Abduction.--Whoever by force compels, or by any deceitful means induces, any person to go from any place, is said to abduct that person.
COMMENTARY
1. Quashing of FIR. Alleged abductee who was a mature lady and star witness, in her statement in presence of all her relatives, had made clear that case registered about her abduction was false and misuse of authority by S.H.O. Law Officer had very fairly and frankly conceded that registration of case against alleged abductee was clear mala fide on part of S.H.O. and that he had no objection if F.I.R. was ordered to be quashed. High Court exercising its inherent and Constitutional power/jurisdiction quashed the F.I.R. 2005 YLR 675.
2. Acquittal. Victim was a body of 15 years of age. Boy was not taken away by deceit of force. There was only a threat to the effect that if boy did not ran away with accused then he will publish conduct of boy. Whether offence of kidnapping or abduction constituted. Accused acquitted of these charges. 1983 PSC SC (Pak.) 776(e).
