On limitation, a complaint for an offence punishable with imprisonment up to two years attracts a three-year period under section 468(1)(c) CrPC; a filing beyond that period is time-barred. The court may nevertheless extend limitation under section 473 CrPC where the delay is properly explained or where cognizance is necessary in the interests of justice, and no separate application is mandatory. Applying that principle, the complaint was restored for further proceedings. en-us Wed, 20 Apr 1983 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:38:07 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=100265 Wrongful withholding of company property after termination of employment under section 630(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 1956 is complete when the withholding first becomes unlawful and is not a continuing offence under section 472 CrPC.
