Court Rules Addition of Accused Without Jurisdiction in Invalid Complaint Lacking Demand Notice.
The HC disposed of the petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. in favor of the applicant, ruling that the trial court's order adding the applicant as an accused in a complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act was without jurisdiction. The complaint was deemed invalid due to the absence of a requisite demand notice. Consequently, the respondent was prohibited from prosecuting the applicant without a valid demand notice. The HC directed that a copy of the order be sent to the trial court for compliance.
Issues Involved: The judgment involves a petition filed u/s 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 challenging the order adding the applicant as an accused in a complaint u/s 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act without issuance of a demand notice.
Details of the Judgment:
Challenge to Trial Court's Order: The applicant challenged the order adding him as an accused in a complaint u/s 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act without proper notice. The trial Court's decision was found to be without jurisdiction as it lacked inherent power u/s 482 of Cr.P.C. to pass such an order.
Validity of Complaint: The complaint against the applicant was deemed invalid as no demand notice was served as required u/s 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. The absence of a valid demand notice rendered the complaint unsustainable against the applicant.
Applicability of Apex Court Judgment: The petitioner's counsel relied on the judgment in "S.R. Sukumar V. S. Sunaad Raghuram" emphasizing the authority of the trial Court in allowing amendments in complaints. However, in the absence of prescribed power u/s Cr.P.C. and a demand notice, the amendment in the present case was not permissible.
Decision and Disposal of Petition: The High Court found the trial Court's order to be perverse and disposed of the petition u/s 482 of Cr.P.C. in favor of the applicant. The direction was issued that the respondent cannot prosecute the applicant without a valid demand notice u/s 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act.
Compliance and Information: The High Court directed to send a copy of the order to the trial Court for information and compliance with the decision.
