https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182219 Section 258 CrPC does not apply to a summons case instituted on a complaint; its limited power to stop proceedings is confined to cases instituted otherwise than on complaint, so no discharge could be claimed after evidence had begun. Section 199(1) CrPC was also applied broadly: a complainant need not be the person directly named in the publication where defamatory imputations concern a company or hospital, and a Director may qualify as a person aggrieved. On that basis, the complaint was held maintainable and the challenge to the criminal proceedings failed. en-us Thu, 12 Jul 2001 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 05 May 2016 12:40:08 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182219 Section 258 CrPC does not apply to a summons case instituted on a complaint; its limited power to stop proceedings is confined to cases instituted otherwise than on complaint, so no discharge could be claimed after evidence had begun.
