Misled by the advocates of the accused

What was the view of the HC during quashing? One reason why they may have backed out of quashing on the pretext of exploring the possibility of compromising 420 and 500 IPC is because their counsel may have been quick to gauge the unwillingness of the HC to quash 409. Quashing of 409 IPC is very difficult on any day.

Seeking an adjournement for compromising and then running away from compromise is not an offence. If the petition has not been dismissed the HC shall now decide it on merits after hearing the counsel of both the parties. Defend the case on merits now.

Many Thanks Ashish Sir.

There are no views of the HC so far, as the case then had just come up for hearing.

Your reply is very encouraging. Please tell me, does the fact that I had won the civil cases

against this corporate, support my criminal case in the HC. 

Regards.

Dear querist

fight the case now and in future first think then belive and try to record all the statement before court.

As advised by Mr. Ashish, you defend your case strongly and with confidence.

It is the general practice of corporates now a days that they used this tactice of making false proposal/ promoising of compromise, just to deviate the complainants from the facts and for gaining the time.

Now it is better for you to proceed with the proceedings instead of be the victim of their tactice.

It may or may not support depending upon the facts and circumstances of your case. If it does lend support to your case, the support may be limited or absolute depending on the facts of your case. The HC exercises a very limited jurisdiction in quashing unlike the trial court. In some cases the HC does quash a criminal case on the basis of a finding of the civil court and in some cases it does not. There is no hard and fast rule. Civil cases and Criminal cases operate in completely different fields. A favourable finding from the civil court cannot alone be a ground to quash the criminal case.

Thank you  Nadeem Sir and Vipin Sir.

Many Thanks Ashish Sir.

Sir, I am a de-facto complainant and I certainly dont want the case to be quashed. I had won the civil cases and 

do the findings in the civil cases help in the HC so that the criminal case is not quashed. 

Please help.

I have already answered your question.

In some cases the HC can on the basis of the finding of the civil court, quash or refuse to quash a case whereas in other cases it may refuse to even consider the civil court's decision and arrive at its own independent finding is support of or against the quash petition. There are cases where in spite of having an adverse finding from the civil court the petitioner succeeds in convincing the HC to quash the criminal case. It depends entirely on the facts of the case which vary from one case to another.

Many Many Thanks Ashish Sir, well understood now. 

Regards.

You are welcome.

To further add, you have not been misled by the opposing counsel. It is called 'courtroom strategy'.

Ashish Sir...you mean to say that this 'courtroom strategy' is used by one counsel on the other counsel? or is it just against the unfortunate lay persons who represent their own cases.

this means to avoid the proceedings of the court at that moment 

there is lot of difference from civil court and high court as the other counsel if he suceeds at the time of arguments that he is prove to justify his words and he will win the case 

even some times judge may decide on merits even if you cannot try to defend in right manner 

Many Thanks Mahesh Sir.
