Dec 6, 2019 |

I want to quash the ex-parte order of Judicial Magistrate passed in my absence. My wife filed a complaint under section 12 of the domestic violence act for various relief.

My friend took money by committing fraud

Jul 30, 2019 |

My friend Amit asked for a favour from me. On 31st May he said that his friend Jaspreet needed 10000 urgent help. I transferred the money to Jaspreet account. When I asked for the money after a few days, Amit said that Jaspreet has given him the cash and ask me to collect the money. I waited, but Amit was never available at home. Now Amit never received my call or replied to my message so. I sent msg to Jaspreet telling her that never got the money.

Also asked her to transfer the money to my account. She denied. Moreover, said Amit is hospitalised. However, the fact is that Amit is fine, and I have solid proof of him going to work. Now I informed Jaspreet that as I transferred funds to her account,  I will file FIR and police will contact her as well.

Now she is saying that she will file harassment against me and also informed me that she would pay my money by 3rd Aug. Amit never picks my call. Can they file any case against me but the fact is I am so only asking for my money. What is your advise, please?

Can magistrate direct investigation under section 156(3) after taking cognisance

Jul 29, 2019 |

Can an order be passed to register FIR under section 156 if the case was filed under CRPC 200? I filed a complaint under section 200 of the code after my procedure but later on and another victim moved an application under section 156(3) CrPC for the direction of the investigation. The judicial magistrate had directed the police officer to investigate and report the matter on next hearing.

The next hearing of the case is 6 August 2019. Upon receiving the order of the magistrate, the investigating officer initiated another investigation. I think another victim has filed that application with the motive to delay the investigation and cause irreparable loss to me. Is there any option to take appropriate action against the order of the magistrate?
