Special Courts jurisdiction restricts company-offence trials to designated forums and permits summary procedure with safeguards.
Offences under the Companies Bill are to be tried only by a Special Court for the area of the company's registered office or as specified by the High Court. Magistrates may detain and forward accused persons to the Special Court, which exercises commensurate remand and cognizance powers; it may take cognizance on police reports or complaints without committal. The Special Court may try related offences together and may, at its discretion, conduct summary trials for certain offences subject to statutory sentence limits and a provision to convert to regular trial procedure when required.
