Procedural Error in Section 313 Cr.P.C. Leads to Retrial and Refund in Negotiable Instruments Act Case.
The court found a procedural irregularity in recording the petitioner's statement under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. before the completion of the respondent's evidence in a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. Acknowledging this error, the court set aside the previous orders and remanded the case to the VI JMFC, Belagavi, for re-trial, beginning with the cross-examination of the respondent. The revision petition was allowed, and the petitioner was entitled to a refund of the deposited amount, subject to identification. The parties were instructed to appear on a specified date.
Issues: Procedural irregularity in recording statements under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. before completion of respondent's evidence.
In this case, the petitioner was convicted under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, and sentenced to pay compensation. The petitioner's counsel argued that there was a procedural irregularity as the petitioner's statement under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. was recorded before the completion of the respondent's evidence, which should have been after the respondent's evidence and cross-examination. Citing a previous court decision, the counsel contended that this irregularity vitiated the proceedings, necessitating setting aside the impugned judgments and remanding the case for re-trial from the stage of cross-examination of the respondent.
The respondent's counsel acknowledged that the case was indeed scheduled for further evidence from the respondent after the petitioner's statement was recorded under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. The court found merit in this submission and accepted it. Consequently, the court set aside the impugned orders and restored the case to the VI JMFC, Belagavi, for re-trial, starting with the cross-examination of the respondent. The parties were directed to appear before the VI JMFC, Belagavi, on a specified date without further notice. The revision petition was allowed, and the amount deposited by the petitioner was to be refunded, subject to identification.
