Quashing of criminal proceeding 397 or 482 Quashing of criminal proceeding 397 or 482

4 years ago

Greetings !

I am facing trial under section 347 and 387 due to a false complaint regd in Aug 2015. Before filing of complaint against me, I had initiated civil and criminal action against the said complainant. So this is a counter complaint in revenge. Even as per complaint there is absolutely no allegation of physical delivery of any valuable security or property and hence the offence u/s above is not made out.

Charge sheet was laid in Jan 2016 and Charges have been framed on 6.10.2017 but the evidence is yet to commence. What remedy do I have now at my disposal for termination of the proceeding without a full blown trial.

i) 397 Revision before Sessions Court with delay condonation
ii) 397 Revision before HC
iii) 482 quashing of FIR and Chargesheet by HC
iv) Art 227 r/w 482 CrPC before HC for quashing of charges framed by CJM Court
v) Any other..?

Will delay condonation still be applicable for 482?

Thanks and Regards,

A.Dear Sir,
Once charges are framed, no Court will quash the proceedings and you have to undergo regular trial.

A.You can file a discharge plea in the trial court on the ground that there is no prima facie case against you. Otherwise you can move the High Court under section 482 to quash the proceedings.
