The court also held that section 341 CrPC provides an appeal only against an order refusing to make a complaint, not against a direction to initiate criminal process. Initiation of contempt proceedings was likewise not open to challenge under section 19 of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971, because that provision applies only after punishment for contempt is imposed. The appeal was therefore not maintainable and was rejected. en-us Thu, 14 Jul 2005 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:06:02 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=110919 A direction under section 340 CrPC for prosecution based on alleged offences affecting a document produced in proceedings was held not appealable under section 483 of the Companies Act, 1956.
