I strongly support Sudhir's Sir & the other's view, that its not a right time to file the lawsuits. But wait for the right time to arrive.

By simply filing a lawsuit of slander will not give you any succor, but you should have to wait till the disposal of the sheath.

Until then, your slander lawsuit might make a halt, with a cause that "Matters are considered to be sub judice"

Rest depends on the querist.

 

 

@ Ekta,

 

I beg to defer as

 

"Matters are considered to be sub judice"

 

Neither in 340 CrPC nor 499 IP it is written that aforesaid augments is enough for not to proceeds with lawsuit of perjury and defamation.

 

Hence it is your own imputation - right? smiley  I guess, you understand that no judge, lawyer is beyond the law and law is not your mere imputation.

 

 

Hope you understand the meaning of imputation in terms of law. Imputations are similar to accusations which is not proved yet and intended to harm.

 

 

As I have already mentioned above, any malicious imputations (Which is not proved yet) are liable for both defamation and perjury.

hello - overall, defamation scope is applicable on 498a wife and her parents etc.But please clarify me if the defamation case is filed only after 498a acquittal and DV judgement is announced?

do we also have to wait for DV trial to get over for defamation when 498a acquittal is processed?

@ Ekta,

 

There is not bar to file any cases in parallel as have shown you from 340 CrPC and 499 IPC.

This even makes your case stronger.

Your goal is 2 - 

a) Prove your innocence

b) Prove the plaintiff as false.

 

- To achieve point b) one should file counter cases in parallel in the same court on top of said cases respectively.

@ Ravi and my all friends in this forum,

 

I pretty request you all,

 

Please leave your confusing attitude.

 

Most of the advocates and judges will try to make you confused and puzzled. Even Indian laws are also ambiguous. 

 

I boldly suggest please GOOGLE it up and read bare acts of 499 IPC and 340 CrPC again and again. You can explore the meaning. Then do the needful and argue accordance with these sections during the case.

 

Please see my profile links for sample petition and other clues.

498 A fighter (Advocate)     30 May 2016

i understood lot but since these are misguidng points so confused and asking here as i thought no mistake will be there ,

again : whether citation should be attached and mentioned at the time of application or not?

Rocky Smith (Instructor @ Calcutta (rockysmith4calcutta@gmail.com))     30 May 2016

For lower courts – Please provide citations during the argument stage.

For High Courts – Attached citations with the petition as annexures.

Two points are interrelated.

Accused have to show his innocence by proving the plaintiff as false. Proving plaintiff as false will prove the innocence of accused.

Thusly,  in any of the points accuse has to establish that plaintiff is false.

                                                             

In this case, querist has to prove plaintiff is false. But, the allegation raised by plaintiff is sub-judice. So, one cannot say plaintiff is false or not.

 

In between, if querist will file some lawsuits like slander against the complainant.

 

 

  1. Then, how the court will proceed with a slander lawsuit until accused prove that the plaintiff as false, when the allegation raised by plaintiff is subjudice

 

2. Every/Most Accuse will file the slander lawsuit day after the complainant files ANY CRIMINAL CASE against the accuse to harass the complaint when the cases are sub-judice. Do you believe it is practicable.

@ Ekta,

 

Learned Mr. Nitish already agreed that perjury can be filed in parallel it this thread. Please check above.

a) Proving innocence

b) Proving Plaintiff as false

These two are not at all interrelated since if prosecution can't provide any leading evidence then the accused will be acquitted automatically with the benefit of doubt ground.

However, to prove plaintiff as false the accused needs to provide leading evidences. 

Clearly, to produce leading evidences from accused side, further investigation, inquiries  needs to be made and Hence CrPC 340 is a very efficient tool allong with cross-examination smiley.

Also 499 IPC the accused will try to prove the imputations are malicious and defamatory by leading evidences smiley


Lastly, If complements can harass accused by malicious prosecution then accuse also can harass complements and hence I believe this is practicable.

 

Please recall you’re study,  the concept of jurisprudence is - "Presumption of innocence"

Pawan S (Advocate)     30 May 2016

Everyone is well aware of the fact that one can file slander lawsuits, but we are suggesting its not the right time to file the suits.

 

“These two are not at all interrelated since if prosecution can't provide any leading evidence then the accused will be acquitted automatically with the benefit of doubt ground.

However, to prove plaintiff as false the accused needs to provide leading evidences. “

 

Both the prosecution & defense will try to establish their point, so one cannot able to pronounce whether the accuse is innocent or not / plaintiff is false or not, until A gets the verdict, which requires time.

 

Let’s take a scenario:

 

C is a Plaintiff

A is an Accuse

 

  1. C made 498A allegation against A, which is sub-judice (498A proceeding is in very initial stage of the proceeding)
  2. A files a slander lawsuit against C (which is also in very initial stage of the proceeding)

 

Both thread 498A & slander proceeding is being given in parallel, which their own procedure. Most of the evidences submitted will be same for both the cases.

 

Which thread (498A or slander) will completes first?

 

  1. Assume, slander completes first & the verdict is in favor of A.

 

And then what will happen with 498A process?

Can one assume, that the court will stop 498A proceeding  immediately & provide its judgement of 498A based on the judgement of slander & this will be in favor of A?

 

  1. Assume, 498A completes first & the verdict is in favor of C.

 

Then what will happen with the slander suit. Whether the slander suit close abruptly?

 

“Lastly, If complements can harass accused by malicious prosecution then accuse also can harass complements and hence I believe this is practicable.”

 

How one gets to recognize, whether it’s a malicious prosecution or not?

How one knows that the complainant is harassing the accuse? The Allegation may be true.

 

So, if anyone file any lawful allegations against someone , then the accuse may also file slander suits against plaintiff, to harass him. Which seems not practicable.

 

“Presumption of innocence”

 

This presumption doesn’t make a footing for the accuse to take advantage of it, just to harass the complainant. Which is also not lawful. 

Rocky Smith (Instructor @ Calcutta (rockysmith4calcutta@gmail.com))     31 May 2016

@ Ekta,

 

"C made 498A allegation against A, which is sub-judice (498A proceeding is in very initial stage of the proceeding)

A files a slander lawsuit against C (which is also in very initial stage of the proceeding)"

 

- - - your view is a pre convicted notion of view hence out of the concept of jurisprudence.

 

"A files a slander lawsuit" - whereas the basic concept of Indian Judiciary is presumption of innocence in criminal trials.

 

Hence burden to prove C’s allegation lies on C as C is complainant. If C does not adduce leading evidence then A will be acquitted automatically on the benefit of doubt ground. However, to prove plaintiff as false A needs to adduce leading evidence as for that A is complainant (as A is filing 340 CrPC). So these two are not at all inter related.

 

Our ultimate goal is to prove plaintiff as false to get ultimate relief.

 

 

The Supreme Court of India

Sampath kumar -Vs- Inspector of police, krishnagiri which was decided by their Lordships of Apex court Justice T.S.Thakur.

 

“Our basic concept of Jurisprudence that let the 100 culprits may go free but no innocent should be punished.”

 

 

Supreme Court of India

Sushil Kumar Sharma vs Union Of India And Ors on 19 July, 2005

 

 

"Ultimate objective of every legal system is to arrive at truth, punish the guilty and protect the innocent. There is no scope for any pre- conceived notion or view."

 

 

so if it is expedient to make an overall inquiry to arrive at the truth to punish the guilty and protect the innocent an accused can make petition u/s 340 CrPC at any time.

This will be disposed of before 498A or actual plaintiff.

Pawan S (Advocate)     31 May 2016

@Rocky,

 

Can you please clarify the below queries?

 

  1. Assume, slander completes first & the verdict is in favor of A.

 

And then what will happen with 498A process?

 

Can one assume, that the court will stop 498A proceeding  immediately & provide its judgement of 498A based on the judgement of slander & this will be in favor of A?

 

 

2. Assume, 498A completes first & the verdict is in favor of C.

 

Then what will happen with the slander suit. Whether the slander suit close abruptly?

Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Advocate)     31 May 2016

come what may.

 

asw long a matter is sub-judice in one court the other court cannot decide on the same.

 

The allegations are subjudice befor ethe court where 498a case is going on.  If that court declares the allegations as false then only the defamation can be considered.

Some charges fail due to negligence of prosecution and complainant do not pursue.  But let him give threat of defamation (even verbally) then the complaints will be motivated to fight tooth and nail to prove the charges.

Let him not dig his misforture.

 

Let him be acauitted and then open the disctionary to see what "defamation" is
