138 Complaint maintainable

Hello Respected members,

I have recieved one complaint to be filed. Actually, in the present matter, the earlier advocate sent 138 notice to "Atul" instead of "Anil" & the said notice has been duly received by wrong name also(The address is correct & cheque details are correct).The said notice has been received by the accused on 07th February 2009.

My query(1) 138 complaint can be filed in correct name directly on the basis of notice sent to wrong person recived by correct person 

(2)or the earlier notice will be treated as null and void ( kindly note that wrong name notice has been received) & i shall issue fresh 138 notice

Regards

Bindu

A notice if sent to you a person on wrong name the notice became invalid & void notice received by someone as Atul not as Anil.You can send further fresh notice with correct name within limitation .

Send a fresh notice in correct name. no irregularioty and illegality. But you cannor survive with the present delivered notice.

Well, I think the contents of the notice may be very much relevant. If from the contents of the notice, it is clearly made out the notice was intended to be for Anil though name Atul is wrongly written, then perhaps the situation may become different. The point is interesting. Can the contents of the notice be reproduced here.

As soon as possible kindly sent a fresh notice ot the correct person with correct name. If the second name of Anil is Atul and you have any evidence for the same then you can proceed in the court writing the oppsite party name Anil @ Atul and adding one para in affidavit that the Anil is also called Atul.

once notice has been sent and it has been recieved by the accused person, hence you cannot send  new notice. you better file the civil case  by giving new notice, but dont loose heart, you may file civil case later as there is 3 years limitation. by filing criminal complaint you can take a chance.


refer Y.Krishan Murthy Vs Sharnappa, 1998(2) KLJ 1

 Dear Sir,


The point is that the notice is neither addressed to nor received by the accused person. Why beat about the bush? If time permits, correct it by sending a fresh notice in the right name, to the correct address. If not, forget 138. You can't prosecute a wrong man for murder saying the other man is living in the same house.

Sukhija (Advocate)     14 February 2009

Hi


U should deposit cheque again, if within limitation, issue fresh notice to correct person on correct address, then proceed.
