Nach dishonour defense

I have an NACH dishonour case filed against me for the dishonor case in Dec 2022.
The goods in question were purchased in Sept 2021.
Proceedings have been going on from past 1 year (2023-2024) wherein we have been through mediation but no solution was found.
In this regard, the complainant has given an offer of 75% of amount in question to settle the case. However, I believe we might have some credible argument which may be presented that might cause the case to be decided in my favour.
If possible, need some guidance from advocate who can guide if those argument are infact credible or not.

Argument:
1. NACH procedural guidelines
Complainant has informed that the electronic funds were initiated in accordance with the relevant procedural guidelines issued by the system provider.
In this regard, as per National Automated Clearing House (NACH) procedural guidelines V6:
a. As on page 45, corporates “Ensure that the customer is made aware of the purpose for which they are executing the mandate” - NOT DONE
b. As on page 45, corporates “If the mandate is taken in advance, the customer should be notified before deposition to the bank. If the customer is not aware then he may deny signing the mandate in response to confirmation calls of his / her bank” – Customer not notified by corporate.
c. As on page 45, Sponsor Bank “Banks should have internal controls in place to ensure that no duplicate mandates are processed in MMS” - The mandates for the invoices in question were processed in Sept 2021, then somehow mandates were again processed in Dec 2022?

2. As per agreement between parties for Dispute resolution
a. As per one clause, Distributor to handover signed cheques and authorize company to complete such cheques with amount as per the payment advice issued to distributor giving the details of the purchase price…. However, in the present case, NACH/ACH/ECS are in question wherein company has failed to provide the payment advice to the distributor. The last payment advice was in September 2021, whereas NACH was mandated on Dec 2022, a period of 14-15 months. As per agreement, maximum credit period was 10 days not 14-15 months. Therefore these mandates are illegal.

b. As per one clause, “any dispute or difference which arise by and between parties hereto relating to or arising out of this Agreement, unless decided by mutual agreement of the parties, be referred to Arbitrators (one each to be appointed by the parties to the dispute) or the third Arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, for the time being in force or any amendment thereto. The Award passed by the Arbitrators shall be final arid binding on all the Parties to the dispute”. Here no arbitration was done, distributor was not given chance to make the claims.

Personal appearance in complaint u/s 200 crpc

Respected Law Professionals,

I would like to know whether the personal appearance of the Complainant is required in a Complaint filed u/s 200 CrPC before a Ld. Judicial Magistrate? Kindly specify whether the appearance of the complainant would be required in the pre-trial stage, trial stage, or any specific points in time in either. I have heard conflicting advice from several advocates. Some who say that the personal appearance required for each and every hearing (though exemption applications can be submitted u/s 205 CrPC). Whereas others have informed me that personal appearance is only required for the personal statement and cross-examination (which is to take place twice i.e. at both the pre-trial and trial stages).

I would appreciate a definitive response so that I can understand whether it makes sense to file the Complaint whose jurisdiction is in another state. It seems that it would be a great hindrance to the service of justice if the personal appearance were to be required for each any every hearing - as the Complainant would have to strongly reconsider whether to even file the Complaint due to the severe obstacle/expense of repeated personal appearances.

Note that I have already exhausted the options of filing of Complaint before the police who did not properly investigate the matter and also the filing of an application u/s 156(3) CrPC, which directed the police to reinvestigate the matter, but the outcome was the same.

Thank you in advance for your time and response.

Homicide

My maternal uncle Ravi Ganguly, approx. 45-year-old man, has owned a grocery store in our locality for over 20 years. Recently, a new shop opened nearby, , which caused competition between the two. Over time, their rivalry grew, leading to arguments and tensions which was many a times witnessed by the customers present there . Both of them accused each other of trying to steal customers and spread bad rumors about their businesses. One evening, after a heated argument over a shared advertisement, Ravi hit the other owner in anger. He fell and hit his head on a sharp object. He was taken to the hospital but died the next day. Ravi claims it was an accident and that the owner had provoked him by insulting him during the fight. However, the police have charged Ravi with murder because witnesses said Ravi acted aggressively. Now this could result in the death penalty or life imprisonment. The trial began under the old law, but before a verdict was given, the new laws were introduced.
I am want to know that can his lawyer argue that his case should be reexamined under the new law because my uncle acted in selfdefense and has no criminal history. Can we expect a lighter sentence under BNS. The prosecution, however, insists that Ramesh’s actions fall under the old law and should be punished accordingly.

Fir & arrest can be done on same day?

My wife filed a fake dowry complaint at the Women Cell in UP. During my first appearance on the third hearing, I asked her parents why they made false allegations. They replied, "How else would we be heard in court without making these claims?" They then requested the IO at the Women Cell to file an FIR. The next hearing is next week. Can an FIR and my arrest happen on the same day?

Please note, I have already emailed the SP and Women Cell, stating that all allegations are false and that I was the one who first filed a police complaint when her family came to my home and acted violently later on they made complaint 400 kms away. This is clearly a counterblast.
