Sec. 125Cr.P.C. & PWDV Act-2005

Dear Experts/Seniors.

The Hon'ble Delhi High Court on 30.08.2010
in Crl.M.C. 130&Crl.M.A. No. 504/ 2010 has held, that (para 3) -" IT MUST BE NOTED THAT THE PWDV ACT-2005 DOESN'T CREATE ANY ADDITIONAL RIGHT TO CLAIM MAINTENANCE ON THE PART OF THE AGGRIEVED PERSON. IT ONLY PUTS THE ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING RIGHT OF MAINTENANCE AVAILABLE TO AN AGGRIEVED PERSON ON FAST TRACK. In the same para the Court further says : " THE COURT OF MM UNER THE ACT HAS POWER TO GRANT MINTENANCE AND MONETARY RELIEF ON AN INTERIM BASIS IN A FAST TRACK MANNER ONLY IN THOSE CASES WHERE WOMEN HAS NOT EXERCISED HER RIGHT OF CLAIMING MAINTENANCE EITHER UNDER CIVIL LAW OR UNDER SEC. 125 CR.P.C. IF A WOMAN HAS ALREADY MOVED COURT AND HER RIGHT OF MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN ADJUDICATED BY A COMPETENT CIVIL COURT OR BY A COMPETENT COURT U/S 125 CR. P.C, FOR ANY ENHANCE OF MAINTENANCE ALREADY GRANTED, SHE WILL HAVE TO MOVE THE SAME COURT AND SHE CANNOT APPROACH MM UNDER PWDV AC BY WAY OF AN APPLICATION OF INTERIM MAINTENANCE OR FINAL NATURE TO GRANT ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE.

Now the question is :'A' a mother has filled an application against her son'B" in a Court of MM in Delhi both U/S 125 Cr.P.C. and also under PWDV Act 2005.The first listing of both the cases are on 25-9-2010.

The case no. of 125 is 27/10 and that of PWDV application is 29/10 before the same Metroplotan Magistrate. That means the case of 125 is listed before, that the case under PWDV Act.

Can the respondent plead before the Court that since 'A" has already exercised her right of claiming maintenance U/S 125 , therefore, the proceedings of PWDV Act should be dismissed or stayed till the final adjudication of case under Sec 125.

In view of the above judgement of Hon'ble Delhi High Court what could be the interpretation of "Exercising her right" ,Is it not approaching a Court for relief Exercising her Rights or the rights would be deemed to be exercised only after adjudication.

Kindly enlighen your Expert Opinion on the matter at the earliest.

Cheating

We have an employee who has cheated our company to the tune of Rs. 1.50 lakh. FIR is lodged; however, police has not called him in the last ten days for investigation and custody.
The Accused employee is not picking up any calls nor available is at his residence. Police asking us to locate him. My question is : (1) What is the Company's remedy against Police; (2) Can the Company publish a public notice in the local newspapers in English & regional language that the employee has cheated and absconded and he should not be dealt by general public as company's employee and anybody having his knowledge be provided to company. I need proper legal solution and guidance on both the aspect urgently.

Highly biased MM & Useless PP

Recently there was a news that Maharashtra Govt. is worried about very poor rate of conviction in cases due to rouge PPs and want to act against them. This is nothing but yet another brainwashing attempt from a corrupt govt. Due to this my case filed by police is suffering and pending in MM's 38th Court at Ballard Pier Court since 2005. The accused are charged u/s 380,448,506,506(2)& 34. As is well known lower criminal courts are infested with corrupt MMs and even PPs are not taking due interest in the cases due to bribes from accused persons. I now request pointwise guidance from learned and experienced experts to my following queries:

1) Can I cross examine the accused persons and if so under what section ?

2) Can I give submitt written statement with documents so that the MM does not play dirty to help accused persons and if so under what section ?

3) How to bring on record important documents as this case is totally dependent on important documents and judgements by other courts in the related matter as the corrupt MM may ignore the same for benefit of accused persons as there is no eye witnesses except one but he is not willing to come as witness in the court.
