Criminal Intimidation -- Vague Allegations of Threats Without Intention to Cause Alarm -- Section 506 IPC Not Attracted
Mere threats, absent clear intention to cause alarm and vague allegations unsupported by prima facie cogent evidence, cannot sustain a charge under Section 506 IPC. Mere presence of a lawyer discharging professional duty of advice or suggestion cannot amount to intimidation. Material discrepancy between statements under Section 161 CrPC and Section 164 CrPC, where the accused's name surfaces belatedly through vague reference, creates serious doubt in the prosecution version.
