Respected Sir Sudhir Kumarji,
I have not thanked to you for the case decided in 2002 as quoted by me, that case neither belong to me, nor your advice was given in this case. I thanked to you for your opinion/solution that your have given in this thread which solution is new for me also may be for other members - when a person is about to flee “file application in high court for issue of writ mandamus.” In addition to this, I used the word again because many a times you have given your opinion on different points by which I was benefited.
I have given this citation here because in this thread you have written “If the summon si returned then it is you who has to give latest address.”
So according to this citation, it is not the complainant’s duty to secure the presence of the accused.
I am not competent enough to decide whether this citation was correctly decided or not, as many citations are reversed by the Supreme Court or at many points different High Court gives different judgement.
In another citation, decided as follows:
5… Ultimate object of law, is to administer the justice and to punish the guilty, if proved. Had the complainant and the injured not disclosed the new address of the three accused in their application dated 08.09.2011, the Magistrate would have been well within his jurisdiction, recorded statements of the witnesses under Section 299 of Cr.P.C., after the accused were declared absconders and their availability was not feasible, so that in future whenever they are arrested, the evidence can be read against them.
IN THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL
Criminal Misc. Application (C482) No. 1040 of 2011
Decided On: 16.11.2011
Appellants: Randhir Singh S/o Bhanwar Singh, Vs.
State of Uttarakhand through Secretary Home, Dehradun and others
If according to opinion of you as well as other learned members of this forum, if above cases were wrongly decided, please give their comments.
please pardon me, if I have made any mistake.
