Telangana HC: An accused cannot be called under a witness notice (Section 179 BNSS); notice set aside
The question: Can police use a Section 179 BNSS notice, meant for witnesses, against an accused?
A man named first accused in a Hyderabad police case said the police kept calling him to the station and pressing him to settle with the complainant. The High Court found that police had sent him a notice under Section 179 of the BNSS, which is meant for witnesses, although he is an accused, and set that notice aside.
