High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur
Bench at Indore
Criminal Revision No.303/2016
Indore, Dated 06.09.2019
Mr. Vishal Lashkari, learned counsel for the
applicant / complainant.
The applicant has preferred this criminal revision
under Section 397 read with Section 401 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure, 1973 (herein after referred to as
the Code) against order dated 08.12.2015 passed by
learned 12th Additional Sessions Judge, Indore (MP) in
Criminal Appeal No.589/2015 and Criminal Appeal
No.615/2015, whereby judgment dated 28.07.2015
passed by Judicial Magistrate First Class, Indore,
District Indore (MP) in Criminal Case No.7893/2010
has been set aside; and the respondent / accused was
convicted for offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.
According to the provisions of Section 378 (1) (b) of the Code, the State Government may, in any
case, direct the Public Prosecutor to present an appeal to the High Court from an original or
appellate order of acquittal passed by any Court other than a High Court, or an order of acquittal
passed by the Court of Session in revision. Section 378 (4) of the Code provides that if such an order
of acquittal is passed in any case, instituted upon complaint and the High Court, on an application
made to it by the complainant in this behalf, grants special leave to appeal from the order of
acquittal, the complainant may present such an appeal to the High Court.
In the present matter, the applicant / complainant has not filed any application under Section 378
(4) of the Code for grant of leave to appeal against the judgment of acquittal passed by the Sessions
Court in appeal. Therefore, the present revision application is not maintainable.

ORDER
The revision petitioner is the complainant in C.C.No.872 of 2006 on the files of the Court of the
Judicial Magistrate of First Class-III, Aluva.
2. The accused was convicted by the trial court under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act
and sentenced to simple imprisonment for three months and a fine of 5,00,000/-. Against the said
conviction and sentence, the accused filed appeal. As per judgment dated 4.8.2011 in Crl.A.No.131 of
2010, the appellate court acquitted the accused for the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act. Aggrieved by the said acquittal of the accused, the complainant before the trial
court has come up with this revision petition.
3. Heard.
4. In view of the provisions of Sub Section 4 of Section 378 of the Code, the remedy of the
complainant in a complaint Crl.R.P. No.2785 of 2011 under Section 138 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act to challenge the order of acquittal passed by the trial court or the appellate court, is
to file appeal before the High Court after obtaining special leave. A Division Bench of this Court in
Omana Jose v. State of Kerala [2014 (2) KLT 504] held that the complainant in a case under Section
138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act cannot challenge the order of acquittal before the Sessions
Court under the proviso to Section 372 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and his remedy is only to
file an appeal to the High Court with special leave under Section 378 (4) of the Code of Criminal
Procedure. In view of the above reason, this revision petition is not maintainable.
In the result, this revision petition stands dismissed as not maintainable. Needless to say that this
order will not take away the rights, if any, of the revision petitioner in seeking other remedies
available to him under law.

Applicability of cooling off period -reg.

Sir,
I proceeded for deputation (ISTC) from my parent Department (one of the Major port of India) for 3 years. While my deputation period was about to end, one post (Executive Engineer) was advertised by one of the Major Port of India on Composite Method i.e. Promotion/Deputation/Absorption basis. In the application form they asked to tick the option that on what basis the applicant want to apply i.e. Deputation or Absorption. I filled the application by opting Absorption Basis and submitted the same to the Competent Authority for onward forwarding to the department who advertised the post. Subsequently, i have joined duty to my parent department after completion of my deputation tenure of 3 years. Same time my application was also forwarded to the other Major port including all the clearances i.e. Vigilance, Administration etc. Now after completion of everything, my department is telling that your application needs to be withdrawn as i am under cooling off period and i have to wait for 3 years for completion of cooling off period. My understanding is that the cooling off period is applicable for between 2 deputation not for direct recruitment or absorption basis recruitment. I need immediate help in this matter with some documentary evidences please. Also Please put some light on the above matter. I will be thankful to you.

It has come to my notice that there is a reference to an authority called “Oath Commissioner” in many statutes.

The experts may kindly tell me who the oath commissioner is.

And if possible, which is the law that defines the authority “Oath Commissioner”?

Thank you all in advance.

Water charges and consumable charges for unoccupied flats

One year back I have purchased a 3 BHK flat at Bangalore, I have not moved in to my new flat as still my interiors, painting are not done yet. 3 months back our residents welfare association was formed and they started monthly maintenance charges with fixed and variable charges, while fixed charges are for security house keeping, gardening AMC for lifts etc. divided on no of Flats.in the apartment & variable are for water ,genset diesel, STP Charged on Sft. basis of each flats

Our flats have no water meters as it was not provided by builder,

since march-2021 we started paying maintenance charges to the association, as I have not occupied my flat, and have requested the association not to include the water charges for my flat maintenance charges. but the association is insisting that the water charges cannot be waived off, as there is no water meter installed. so I need to pay the water charges,

Since the water charges are for the occupied flats who are using the water. They should share the water charges among themselves. how can I be charged the water charges which I have not consumed?

please advise is water charges are applicable on unoccupied flats since i am paying all other charges in the maintenance bill can water charges be excluded for my case.
