Counter cases after quash

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 29 January 2012 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Experts,
Can counter cases - Perjury, malicious prosecution, defamation etc. be filed after the case against the accused has been quashed by high court ? Can quashing orders be taken as grounds for counter cases?

Please enlighten.

Thanks in advance !

with great difficulty you have got an order for quashing . now if you file suit for damages you will have to pay court fees , engage lawyers .

you cna filefor defamation , malicious prosecution but i would advise you to move on in life

Quashing of FIR is definitely a good ground in the hands of accused person to teach a lesson to complainant.

The quashing order itself is a big ground to prove innocense of accused persons in the alleged crime.

Depends on the reason for quashing if it was through compromise then there are no grounds but if basis evidence and merits of the case then there is a chance for defamation.e

Quashing is no sole ground for filing counter cases.
You have to file case for damages on independent grounds though I also suggest not to repeat mud slinging again.

You have come out of the turmoil so now move on in the life.

Defense advocate may pull the camel back from the tell. So take care and keep aside your ego.

Do not force the complainant to get aducated by his lawyers if he has right /ground to get the FIR revised.

Depends on what grounds the quashing happened.

ARUSHI murder case TALWARS were given closure report by CBI, so started bragging about defamation and all that so what happened.

Just because the lower court has dismissed the case means no end to the story, appeal revision can be filed with application for re arrest.
