This query is : Resolved
Sir,
I have 48 cases of section 420,467,468,471,120b running in Agra against me. I am 64 years old and finding it difficult to attend them all one by one in different courts. Cases are about 5 years old.
These all cases are from one current account and are about 48 transactions of drafts encashed through this account.
About 80% of the witnesses are the same in all cases.
I wish to get them clubbed. What is the remedy?
Is it possible that I may be exempted from attending to these cases in person?

Please see Sec. 184, 212 and 219 of Cr.P.C. Depending upon the period in which different offences are alleged to have been committed, the charges can be clubbed as envisaged in the above provisions. Similarly, you can also get exemption considering your age. If you have any health problems, please submit medical certificate which would make it easy to get exemption.

MOVE AN APPLICATION TO CJM. HE CAN TRANFER ALL CASES TO ONE JUDGE AND ALL CASES CAN BE FIXED ON ONE DAY.

Joint trial as stated by Palnitkar depends on the facts of the case.
