When a person commits an act prohibited by
law, he ought to be punished for such acts. In India, the Indian Penal Code,
1860 is one of the most exhaustive statute listing down the offences and the
punishment for these offences. The legislature has passed various acts that
also make certain commissions or omissions punishable by the criminal courts in
the country. The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPC) is a thorough and
comprehensive code laying down the procedure to be adopted by different
criminal courts in India. The procedures provided in CRPC can be broadly
classified into two categories, namely, pre-trial procedures and trial
procedure. The pre-trial procedure covers matters like a complaint, FIR,
inquiry, investigation, arrest and bail. The CrPC lays down the detailed methods
of collecting and recording evidence, investigation and arrest of accused
persons, including the safeguards from arbitrary arrest, examination of
witnesses, framing of charges, and even how judgment is delivered in a criminal
trial.
Pre-trial stages
The pre-trial stage commences with the
commission of the offence and its reporting. In this regard, a distinction is
made between cognizable and non-cognizable offences. If a cognizable offence is
committed, any person may inform the police of the happening of offence by way
of registering a first information report (FIR) under Section 154 of CrPC. Upon
the filing of the FIR, the police can proceed to the crime scene and start
investigating the matter, which may include identification of victims, suspects,
evidence, weapons etc. However, in the case of a non-cognizable offence, the
police are not authorized to investigate into the matter or make an arrest
without a warrant from the Magistrate. A person can even make a complaint
directly to the Magistrate in writing of the commission of an offence by any
person, whether known or unknown, under CrPC. The Magistrate may take
cognizance of the complaint upon examination of the complainant along with
witnesses if any.
Thereafter, the police proceed with their
investigation. Investigation procedures have been laid down in detail under the
Code, which includes collecting evidence that may include a weapon or forensic
evidence, discovery of suspects, arrest, and even interrogation of the accused.
After the arrest, the issue of bail arises. There is a distinction between
bailable and non-bailable offences. In a bailable offence, bail to the arrested
person is a matter of right, whereas, in a non-bailable offence, bail to the
accused is the Court's discretion. The provisions relating to bail have been
given in Chapter XXXIII of the CrPC. Various safeguards and rights of the
arrested persons have been laid down in the Code, including production of the
accused before the Magistrate within twenty-four hours of such arrest. After
the completion of the investigation process, the police submit a final report
called the charge sheet to the Magistrate for the commencement of trial.
Stages of a criminal trial
There are various types of criminal trials
conducted by the Courts in India. The broad classification of these trials can
be made into warrant, summons and summary trials. There is another category of
trials known as the Sessions trial; such a case is taken up by the Sessions
Court and has its own procedure. As per Section 2(x) of the CrPC, a warrant
case refers to the trial of an offence punishable with imprisonment for two or
more years or life imprisonment or with death. On the other hand, a summons
case has been defined as one which is not a warrants case under Section 2(w).
Thus, a summons case is the trial of offences punishable with imprisonment for
a term less than two years. Summary trials are popularly known as abridged
trials conducted for offences of trivial nature, i.e., offences punishable with
less than six months. Summary trials have a shorter procedure to save time and
do justice efficiently. While the procedures vary according to the type of
trial held, the stages of a criminal trial can be broadly listed as mentioned
below.
1. Framing of charges
After considering the police report submitted
by the police to the Magistrate, the Magistrate proceeds to examine its
contents. The Magistrate is required to decide whether there is prima facie
evidence of the commission of the offence by the accused person. The Magistrate
will not determine the guilt of the accused at this moment but will merely
decide whether there is enough material on record that points to the fact of
committing the crime. According to Section 240 of the Code, framing of charges
has to be done in the presence of the accused person where the Magistrate will
read out the contents and explain the charges to the accused. This is an
important responsibility of the Magistrate, and the accused has a right to know
the charges against him to be able to arrange for a proper defence.
It is pertinent to note that framing of
charges is mandatory in a warrants case, but in a summons and summary trial,
charges are not framed in writing and are mentioned orally to the accused only
to let the accused know of allegations against themselves in accordance with
Section 251 for summons case.
2.
Plea of guilty
After the framing of charges, the Magistrate offers
an opportunity to the accused person to plead guilty on the charges levied
against him/her. If the accused pleads guilty, the Magistrate proceeds to
convict the accused and then impose adequate punishment. However, it is
required that the Magistrate ensures that the plea of guilty is made
voluntarily and after being fully aware of the charges and their implications.
If the accused pleads not guilty, the case proceeds for trial before the
appropriate Court.
3.
Evidence by prosecution
Upon pleading notguilty by the accused, the Court
directs the prosecution to present evidence in support of its averments. At
this stage, the prosecution seeks to establish the guilt of the accused by
producing documents and witnesses in this regard.
In the event the Magistrate does not convict
the accused under section 252 or 253, the Magistrate shall proceed to hear the
prosecution and take all such evidence as may be produced in support of the
prosecution, and also to hear the accused and take all such evidence as he
produces in his defence. (Sections 244 and 254)
4. Statement of the accused
According to Section 313, the accused is
called upon and is examined on oath in a warrants trial. An opportunity is
given to the accused to explain the circumstances of the commission and other
relevant factors in the furtherance of his defence. Statement of accused may
not be recorded in summons and summary trials.
5.
Defence evidence
At this stage, the defence produces evidence
and witnesses to disprove the allegations made by the prosecution. The general
rule of criminal jurisprudence is that the accused is presumed to be innocent
until proven guilty; after the prosecution discharges its burden to prove the
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, onus shifts upon the accused to prove that he
has not committed the offence. (Sections 243)
6.
Final arguments and Judgement
Both the prosecution and defence argue before
the Court and try to bring out the fallacies in each other’s arguments and
evidence.
After hearing both parties, the Court
proceeds to analyze the evidence and facts brought on record to determine
whether the accused is guilty of the offences alleged. This is a judicial
process where the Judge applies his or her mind to the material on record. If
the Judge concludes that the accused has not committed the offence, an order of
acquittal is granted, whereas if it is sufficiently proved that the accused is guilty,
an order of conviction is passed, and the Court proceeds to the sentencing of
the accused.
Conclusion
These are the general
steps involved in a criminal trial. However, it is vital to consult with your
lawyer in case of any actual criminal trial in order to follow through with the
latest rules of law and procedures.

A
very reputed businessman, who had established various branches of his brand in
different cities across India was accused of false cheque bounce case by a
bank. The amount charged on him was huge as well. But he took the right
decisions quickly without wasting time thinking about how his reputation is now
harmed. He collected all the apposite documents and files and contacted a
lawyer to file a legal notice within the timespan
of 30 days. And since it was a false allegation on him, it was not much of a
task for the bank to be proven guilty.
If
he would not have taken the said actions quickly and did not submit the notice
on time ,i.e, within 30 days of receiving the notice from the bank, a warrant
might have been issued against him and he would also have had to actually pay
the amount for the false cheque bounce imputation. These
accusations are generally to affect the reputation of a person and bring him
down or go to jail. Although it might end up being a mistake on the banks side
or the depositor of the cheque in some cases but mostly it is to bring down the
prestige and position of the recipient of the cheque in the market.
If
you also are incriminated by a false cheque bounce case or just want to be
aware about such happenings in the real world, this blog is for you. Everything
starting from a basic definition of what is a cheque and cheque bounce to what
you can do (other than panicking and stressing out ) if ever you are
stuck in such a situation. To under false cheque bounce, first you must know
what is a cheque, cheque bounce and the reasons for cheque bounce.
Cheque: A Cheque is an
important part of the financial system in various countries across the world. A
cheque is regarded as an important document which can be used by an individual,
company or government for transactions of various amounts. A Cheque is also
termed as a negotiable document to transport money in a physical form or even
to perform inter-account transfer.
Cheque
Bounce: The
situation of cheque bounce means that the process of
depositing cheque in the bank has been unsuccessful. It might be due to several
reasons:
1. When there are
insufficient funds in the account of the issuer. It is therefore advised to be
aware and careful while issuing a cheque to ensure that there is sufficient
balance in the account of the issuer.
2. When the date mentioned
on the cheque is disfigured or when the numbers are scribbled or even if the
date on the cheque is 3 months old from the present date, then the bank can
bounce the cheque.
3. When the signature does
not match with the bank’s records.
4. When there is a
difference in the amounts mentioned in numbers and words.
5. When the cheque has too
many stains or marks.
6. When there is
overwriting, scribbling or correction on a cheque.
False
Cheque Bounce: Many
people still prefer making their payments through cheques because of various
reasons like cheques allow to make payment to people who do not have a bank
account or few are not yet comfortable with net banking. But cheque bounce
cases are rising in today’s time and the Indians courts are filled with these
cases which are filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments
Act,1881.
These cases are usually
to extract money from someone or to harm and spoil his/ her reputation.
However, some cheque bounce cases amongst these cases are
false cases and are not genuine cases which targets some innocent people who
then end up facing legal issues because they lack the knowledge on what should
be done.
How would you deal with a False Cheque
Bounce Case?
The victim in such cases need not worry
much about it as it is a false accusation and generally easily proved with the
valid documents that there was enough balance or fund in the bank account of
the issuer which would ensure there was no cheque bounce.
Some important measures to take when a
situation of false cheque bounce arises:
1. Collecting all the
important documents – The
most wise and smart thing to do when there is any false accusation to a person
is to collect proof which will show him guilty of the charge put on him.
Similarly, this case is no different and collecting the relevant documents
which would prove me innocent and the bank guilty.
2. Contact the bank and
collect information regarding the dishonour of cheque- If your cheque
bounces, the bank would send you notice informing you of the same. You have to
then contact them and confirm if it has really happened and if it did what are
the reasons.
3. Hire a lawyer and reply
to the legal notice of the bank – It is not easy to draft a legal notice and you should not take
it lightly because once the notice is drafted and sent, you would not be able
to change its content and have to stick to it. You would not be able to go
against the statement written by you in your notice. So you must consult with a lawyer who deals with cheque
bounce cases and reply to the notice about the cheque bounce case which you
would have got from the check receiver. The reply should be sent within 30 days
of receiving the notice. In many such cases of fraud and false accusation, the
case is withdrawn once a legal notice is sent.
4. File a counter case- You are legally allowed
to file a counter civil case against the person who has filed a false cheque
bounce against you. You can claim compensation for the false accusation. You
can also claim the compensation for all the damages and expenses which you
might have incurred for dealing with the fraud case with the bank. You can also
file a defamation case against the false accuser.
Documents required for filing a counter
case
1. Payment invoices
2. Bill generated when the
payment was made
3. The bank account
statement
4. Copy of the cheque issued
5. Bank draft cheque
It is always a good idea to keep 2-3 copies
of each document because sometimes you might have to submit the copies to the
authorities dealing with the case. The process becomes quicker and hassle free
when the documents are handy.
Section 138 in The Negotiable Instruments
Act, 1881: Section
138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881 provides the legal recourse to
handle the situation of cheque bounce or dishonour of cheque.
This section has been very recently
decriminalised. On 8 June, 2020 the Ministry of Finance proposed
decriminalizing various minor offences “for improving business sentiment and
unclogging court processes”, which also include Section 138 of Negotiable
Instruments Act, 1881. The main purpose for decriminalising this section is to
promote foreign investment in our country. Due to the Coronavirus Disease, the
economy of our India has been affected badly and these steps would also help in
boosting India’s economy.
But every action has its reaction and this
step will lead the creditors to lose their confidence in the credibility of the
cheque system.
Punishment for cheque bounce case: Section 138 of the
Negotiable Instruments Act states the dishonour of cheque or cheque bounce is a
criminal offence and the punishment includes imprisonment up to two years or
monetary penalty or with both.
If the court is convinced that you are guilty
and the case of the bank has no merit then it will provide you all the charges.
Conclusion: False Cheque bounce cases along with other frauds
cases are rising each passing day. It is very important to be aware about the
different types of fraud and especially fraud related to monetary aspects like
cheques because money is obviously involved in any job and work. Going by the
saying ‘Precaution is better than cure’, it is always good to have knowledge
about these frauds so that you can easily prevent that from happening or in
some cases when it is not really in the hands of the person to prevent it, you
at least know the cure to it. Having knowledge makes you capable of helping out
someone stuck in that situation.

couple is supposed to share the responsibility of the households as well. Since
the two people are sharing their life one person cannot take responsibility for
everything which means they have to share the household chores.
Laws that talks about conjugal rights are as follows:
1. Section 9 of The Hindu Marriage Act.
2. Section 32 of the Indian Divorce Act.
3. Section 22 of the Special Marriage Act.
4.
Section
36 of The Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act.
Restitution
of Conjugal Rights: If
any of the spouses refuse to live together or withdraw herself/himself from the
society of their respective halves for no reason or refuse to enjoy the
conjugal rights. Court to maintain gender equality provided some legal
provisions to let the spouses have their rights. If the spouses are not
enjoying the conjugal rights then the other spouse can file suit for
restitution of conjugal rights. To file the suit for restitution of the
conjugal rights the partner who is filing has to prove it, and certain
condition needs to be fulfilled to file suit for restitution of conjugal rights:
1.
The
defendant has refused from cohabitation or is withdrawing from the society of
the other spouse or petitioner. One of the most important things need to keep
in mind that it is not necessary that they are not living together makes the
other partner file suit for restitution of conjugal rights, if they are in
contact or communicating and staying away is due to work or for some other
valid reason then it will not be considered as a refusal from the society.
2.
The
statement made and mentioned by the petitioner should be true and no false
statement had been made and there has to be unreasonable ground for the refusal
from the society of the significant half.
3.
If
the relief or the application is being denied then there should not be any
legal grounds mentioned for that.
Procedure
to file the suit for restitution of conjugal rights: When it comes to filing any type
of suit or case it needs to be done in a proper manner and there are certain
procedures that need to be followed by the person who is initiating any legal
proceedings against any person. In this case, the procedure is as follows:

After
the 3 counseling sessions, the judge will pass the decree either in favor of
the petitioner or defendant depending upon the statements of the parties and
the counselor.
Rejection of the application of restitution of conjugal rights: There are certain cases where the
court may deny the application for the restitution of conjugal rights, but
there has to be a proper reason for the denial of the conjugal rights which are
as follows:

abuse, then the application for restitution of conjugal rights may be denied.
3. There is any cruelty from any party or
the in-laws it would amount to a rejection of the application.
4.
If
the parties are causing or willingly dragging the case for no reason then the application

What happens when the application is rejected or the proceeding
is taking time: Legal
proceeding takes time and also depends upon the statements and the evidence if
the court is satisfied there is a proper reason for staying apart or the spouse
have a valid reason for withdrawing from the other spouse’s society then the
court may grant the degree in favor of the defendant.
If the petitioner gets rejected or the petitioner loses the case
then the petitioner has the right to file a case for judicial separation or for
divorce.

expected then the application may get rejected and the petitioner can file for
judicial separation and divorce.
If the decree is passed in the favour of the petitioner but the
defendants refused to comply or failed to perform and came back within one year
then again, the petitioner can file for judicial separation or divorce.
Judicial Separation: Sometimes a couple does not want to officially call their
marriage off but needs some time to sort things out or need time to think but
not ready to part their ways for forever, so they go for judicial separation.

important their marriage is and the significant half is for them also gives
them time to solve the issues they are having.

Cases on Conjugal Rights
with respect to Constitutional Validity:
T. Sareetha v. T.Venkata
Subbaiah: In
this case, the Court held that restitution of conjugal rights is a violation of
Articles 14, 19, and 21 of the Indian Constitution. Court held that this right
violates the freedom of a woman. It took away the rights of the woman that when
and how she wants to live her life or consume her marriage. Hence the court
held that it should be held void and arbitrary.
Harvinder Kaur v.
Harmandar Singh: In
this case, the court states the objective of restitution of conjugal rights,
the court held that the object behind this right is to make the married life
stable for husband and wife and to encourage reconciliation and conjugal rights
do not talk about sexual intercourse only it talks about the marital
relationship overall which makes it valid.
Saroj Rani v. Sudarshan
Kumar: In
this case, the Court held that restitution of conjugal rights is not violating
any of the fundamental rights of the spouse or is not violating Article 14,19,
or 21 of the Indian Constitution. On the other hands, it is stopping a marriage
from being dissolved which means it is serving a social purpose but if any of
the spouses is not complying with the decree of restitution of conjugal rights
for 1 continuous year then they can get a divorce on this ground as a court
cannot force a person to have a physical relationship or sexual intercourse.
Conclusion: Hence it is concluded that conjugal rights include
all marital rights not just sexual intercourse, conjugal rights talk about the
rights of spouses to living together, sharing household chores, fulfilling
responsibility as husband or wife towards each other and the family and just
because spouses are not living in the same house does not mean they are not
cohabiting, if they are having a conversation or communicating that will ask
for restitution of conjugal rights. Also, it is not unconstitutional or it does
not violate the fundamental rights of the spouses.
