The complainant doesn't want to settle and filed an MVOP case for 90 Lakhs compensation and it is still in NOTICE stage in court.

Our advocate suggested to FACE THE TRIAL.

My questions are

3. what can be done to avoid jail term if he is convicted during trial?
4. My brother is student persuing degree, he holds valid driving license, RC, Insurance and he even took the injured to hospital and paid 3k for first aid.
5. If he is sentenced to jail, his career will be destroyed. what can be done to get out this situation.

Procedure in criminal cases

SIR, COULD I PLEASE BE GUIDED HOW A CRIMINAL CASE PROCEEDS: ONCE SUMMON IS ISSUED THE ACCUSED HAS TO APPEAR IN COURT. ONCE ACCUSED RECEIVES THE CASE PAPERS SHOULD THE ACCUSED SUBMIT HIS REPLY TO THE COMPLAINT FILED BY THE COMPLAINANT? OR SHOULD THE ACCUSED FILE HIS REPLY BEFORE FRAMING CHARGES OR AFTER THE CHARGES ARE FRAMED? IF THE COMPLAINT IS NOT SUPPORTED BY DOCUMENTERY EVIDENCE AT WHAT STAGE SHOULD AN APPLICATION SECTION 91 OF THE CR PC BE SUBMITTED IN COURT SHOULD IT ALSO BE BEFORE FRAMING OF CHARGES OR AFTER FRAMING OF CHARGES?

Documentary evidence mentioned in fir

Dear Respected Experts,

Brief of Case:
---------------
Wife filed a case u/s 498A & 4 of DP Act. The FIR was registered through court direction (u/s 156(3)). During cross-examination of SHO (station house officer, IO) my advocate asked if a document mentioned in FIR is marked in court. SHO told that it is marked. Immediately my advocate asked the Judge whether it is marked or not. The judge replied that it is NOT MARKED. Actually, the FIR was registered in JM court of Chennai and transferred to JM court of Bangalore due to Jurisdiction.

My Question:
---------------
1) Is it possible for the Judge to get the document mentioned in the FIR, from JM court of Chennai, to JM Court of Bangalore?

2) Would the Judge take the initiative to bring the document in his/her own interest.

3) Is there anything in Law mentioned as a MANDATORY procedure for the judge to demand any documents from other courts?

Thanks in Advance

Police clearance certificate with pending ipc 338 case

I am applying for canada PR where i need to upload police clearance certificate. I have an accident case registered against me under IPC 338 and currently the case is in appearance stage.

The other party is not ready to settle the case and demanding hefty money.

1. Does the court case creates problem during police verification?
2. I heard that IPC 338 accident case is not much major offence and it doesn't involve moral turpitude, will I get clean PCC in this case. How much true is this?

Please guide me in this regards as I cannot wait till the end of the case proceedings as it may take around 3 to 4 years.

Cheque bouncing case relaxation of imprisonment

In a criminal case, (cheque bounce case), the accused has been sentenced to one year simple imprisonment punishment by the lower court. The accused appealed to the next appellate court and the appellate court confirmed the lower court’s order. The lower court order dated 22.08.2014 and the appellate court order dated 18.04.2017. As the person was roaming scot free, the trial court was questioned under RTI Act about the action taken on the accused and the trial court informed me that warrant has been issued to the concerned police station to apprehend the accused on 19.08.2021 after seeing my letter dated 11.08.2021. Under these circumstances, please clarify the doubts
i) Whether the accused can file bail petition and get bail ?
ii) Whether a third person who is not the complainant can file a caveat and object the bail petition ?
I would be very grateful if clarification is provided on this matter since the accused, an unscrupulous person is creating lot of problem to me by filing false & fictitious civil suit disturbing me mentally, financially and physically.
