This query is : Resolved
Dear Sirs,
0n 13.12.2012, I had my 498A date in Bhoom Court. On that day, the opposite party brought one fake person in the name of my surety to remove my surety. They gave application to court in the morning. But in afternoon, they withdrew the application before the judge can make any order.
What remedies do I have? What should I do so that in future the opposite party is deterred.

prima-facie not. Only the person privy to all facts and papers can advise properly.

Bring this to the notice of the court. This is not a ground for contempt.

Hon'ble Mr. Sethi,
The opposite party has taken away the application paper with the connivance of court staff. Court staff is saying since the court has not made any order on application, the opposite party can take away the paper. What should I do in such a situation.

Then how do you know that it was filed. Did they serve copy to you or your councel.

My lawyer and court clerk told me this. Can I complain against court clerk also as to how can he give back the paper.

Dear CS Vikramsinh Mohite,
If you believe that you have sufficient evidence for a successful conviction, then you could file a criminal complaint under relevant sections of Chapter XI of the Indian Penal Code.
In addition, you could also initiate proceedings for professional misconduct against the counsel who is responsible for this (which I do not recommend)
But I personally recommend that you do what Mr. Devajyoti Barman said. Bring this to the notice of the concerned Judge by filing a Memo.
Regards,
S. Yudhish Padman,
Advocate, Madras High Court.
