S ection 397: Challenging Improper framing of Charges or Irregular trial Download Word Document In English. (Rs.100/-) Download PDF Document In Marathi. (Rs.100/-) Instructions for drafting Parties to the Application: The Accused / convict would be the Applicants herein; and the concerned State would be the Respondents, alongwith the complainant, if there was a prosecution on a private complaint. Jurisdiction of Courts: 1.      The Sessions Court and the High Court have concurrent jurisdiction. However, Sessions Court must first be approached, despite the fact that if the Applicant loses in the Sessions Court, he cannot file second Revision, although he may adopt any other legal remedy like Application u/s 482 of CrPC, 1973 or may invoke Writ jurisdiction or Article 227 jurisdiction of High Court. 2.      For Sessions Court to exercise Revisional jurisdiction, the Magistrates Court must be situated within the local jurisdiction of the Sessions Court. 3.      For High Court to exercise Revisional jurisdiction, the Magistrates Court must be within its jurisdiction, that is to say, the Magistrate Court must be situated in the State in which High Court exercises its jurisdiction. Material facts to be pleaded: 1.      The facts showing that “Charge” was not formally framed in respect of an offence, and a finding, sentence or order was passed by a Court of competent jurisdiction against the Applicant herein, in respect of the said offence, and, in fact, serious prejudice has been caused thereby to the Applicant herein. 2.      The facts showing that there was error, omission or irregularity in the framing of charges in respect of an offence, and a finding, sentence or order was passed by a Court of competent jurisdiction against the Applicant herein, in respect of the said offence, and, in fact, serious prejudice has been caused thereby to the Applicant herein. 3.      The facts showing that there was misjoinder of charges, in respect of certain offences, and a finding, sentence or order was passed by a Court of competent jurisdiction against the Applicant herein, in respect of those offences, and, in fact, serious prejudice has been caused thereby to the Applicant herein. 4.      The facts showing that there was error, omission or irregularity in the complaint, summons, warrant, proclamation, order, judgment or other proceedings before or during trial or in any inquiry or other proceedings under this Code, or there was error, or irregularity in any sanction for the prosecution, and failure of justice has in fact been occasioned thereby to the Applicant herein. 5.      The facts showing that no valid charge could be framed against the Applicant herein, having regards to the facts of the case and having regard to certain facts stands proved. Limitation period: The Limitation period is 90 days from the date of the impugned order (the order which is under challenge). The time taken in obtaining the certified copy of the impugned order is allowed to be deducted while calculating the limitation period. If there is delay in approaching the Court, a condonation Application may be filed alongwith the Revision Application, setting out therein the number of days of delay and the reasons / grounds to condone the said delay. Court fee: The Court fee would vary from State to State. In Maharashtra, the Court fee is paid on the basis of number of pages of documents annexed with the Revision Application, and Rs.   is charged for every two pages. Compliance to conditions, if any: If applicable: There is an express legal bar engrafted in the CrPC, 1973, or under _______  (under which a criminal proceeding is instituted) to the institution and continuance of the proceedings and/or there is a specific provision in the Code or the concerned Act, providing efficacious redress for the grievance of the aggrieved party; Verification Clause: 1.      Whereas Parties to the litigation makes series of submissions and allegations against each other, it is a basic requirement of law that Parties must specify in the Verification clause, by reference to the numbered paragraphs of their pleadings, as what facts are which are true to their own knowledge; and what facts are based on the information, belief and legal advice. 2.      Further, Section 297(2) of CrPC, 1973, among other things, stipulates that whoever party is obliged to file an Affidavit in any of the proceedings before the Court, the said Party is obliged to specify in his said Affidavit, by reference to the numbered paragraphs of his affidavit, such facts as the deponent is able to prove from his own knowledge and such other facts he has reasonable ground to believe to be true; and in the latter case, the deponent is obliged to state the grounds of such belief. In the absence of such compliance, a proceedings cannot be said to be duly instituted, and is vulnerable to challenge to be dismissed. Affidavit is required to be filed in Complaints filed u/s 200 of CrPC, 1973, and in other proceedings initiated before the Magistrates Court, Sessions Court or before the High Court. 3.      The person verifying his pleadings is obliged to sign. The Person verifying is also required to state the date and the place at which it was signed. 4.      This requirement of law is based on the principle that whoever comes before the Court, must come with the clean hands and also must come with certain facts and his case should not be based on general, vague or speculative facts. 5.      Therefore, the law requires that whatever is stated by the Party in his proceedings, he must clarify that which statement is made from his own knowledge and which statement is made, based on other information, or based on legal advice. 6.      This is significant from another perspective, where in cases, if the submissions made by the Party were turned out to be false, then, the said Party may be held guilty of perjury / contempt of the Court for knowingly making false statement and misleading the Court, in cases, where he had verified the concerned false Paras emanating from his own knowledge. 7.      The profound object of this verification clause therefore is to prevent or cease frivolous submissions / Applications. 8.      The consequences of not verifying correctly may entail penal consequences. The Apex Court, comprising three Judges Bench, in the case of S.R. Ramaraj Versus Special Court, Bombay, 2003, have inter alia, observed that, “A person is under a legal obligation to verify the allegations of fact made in the pleadings and if he verifies falsely, he comes under the clutches of law”.

CRIMINAL COMPLAINT U/S 138 OF THE NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT & SECTION 420 OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE IN THE COURT OF THE JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE, FIRST CLASS, (COURT NO. 2), PUNE AT PUNE Criminal Complaint No. /200..

D ) age 30 years, occupation - business, )        Accused resident of 1050 Kasba Peth, ) PUNE 411 01l. ) A COMPLAINT U/S    138 OF THE NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT & SECTION 420   OF THE INDIAN PENAL CODE The complainant abovenamed submits this complaint, praying to state as follows: 1. That the complainant is a resident of the within mentioned address, and he has been running his business of hardware in the name and style as M/s STD Sales Corporation, Pune. 2. That the accused had been a customer of the complainant for the last ten years purchasing goods from time to time. 3. That  since  there  has  been business  relationship  between the complainant and the accused and also that the complainant could repose faith in the accused, he used to accept the cheques issued by the   accused against the purchased by the accused. 4. That during the recent past, there have been various transactions between the complainant and the accused as detailed below: 5. That the complainant submits and says that the above mentioned cheques were issued by the accused at the time of delivery of goods and materials supplied to him by the complainant, with an implied promise on the part of the accused that on the presentment of these cheques, they will be honoured. 6. That, however, all these cheques, have been dishonoured by the bankers of the complainant, and the same have been returned to the complainant with endorsement "Insufficiency of Funds in the Account of the Drawer". 7. That the complainant says that had the complainant known that the cheques issued by the accused would be dishonoured, the complainant would never have delivered the materials and goods to the accused. 8. That the complainant does hereby reiterate that the cheques which were issued by the accused in discharge of his liability have been dishonoured for the reason of insufficiency of funds in his account. 9. That the complainant    is also surprised that since the date of dishonour of cheques, he has been making serious and sincere efforts to contact the accused personally, but unfortunately the accused has been at large and not being available, and his whereabouts are also not known to the complainant. 10. That taking into consideration such a typical position created by the accused, the complainant has come to a tacit conclusion and also inferred that the accused took the delivery of goods by deceiving and cheating the complainant when he issued the cheques knowing it fully well that he had neither sufficient balance in his bank account, nor had he made any alternative arrangements for crediting the necessary amount against the same. 11. That from the total behaviour on the part of the accused,  it is apparent that he is not only liable civilly but also guilty of the criminal offences under the provisions of criminal laws particularly under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code 1860 and under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881. 12. That the cheques were presented to the bankers of the complainant on…. the same were returned to the complainant on......for....insufficiency of funds in his account. 13. That the complainant has accordingly served a notice, dated…….on the accused, demanding payment of the said amount of Rs. 80,000/-, but the accused did not do so, and hence, this complaint. 14. That the cause of action for this complaint first arose on….. and hence, this complaint filed today is well within limitation. 15.
