Private Complaint

In cases of dishonour of cheque the complaint can be filed through the holder of power of attorney. Such power of attorney can also be examined in place of the complainant if he has personal knowledge of the transactions.

Dear Mahesh,

What is the subject and Offence under complaint....??

In addition to Sanjeev's reply:

" Such power of attorney can also be examined in place of the complainant if he has personal knowledge of the transactions "

It was found in Janki Vashdeo Bhojwani case ( 2004 AIR SCW 7064) that the principle laid down in Shambhu Dutt Shastri case ( AIR 1998 Raj.185) is the correct view and which is as follows:−

 " A general power of attorney holder can appear, plead and act on behalf of the party, but he cannot become a witness on behalf of the party. He can only appear in his own capacity. No one can delegate the power to appear in witness−box on behalf of himself To appear in a witness box is altogether a different act. A general power of attorney holder cannot be allowed to appear as a witness on behalf of the plaintiff in the capacity of the plaintiff. "
