Hi,
In criminal case proceedings U/s 240 charges will be framed on accused. What it means really ....? will court pass any written order or make any written document at the time of framing the charge.... reason for asking this question is :
In 498A case against me Magistrate Court is going to frame charges on next hearing date. As per section 240 of CrPC, Magistrate has to explain what is crime that accused done before asking whether he has done crime or not.... in my case, wife did not allege when and where, how the criem is happened and the allegations are vague in nature without complying with the section 211, 212 and 213 of CrPC. Because of this I could not able to collect evidence for defence. I filed applications to police to supply me details of the allegations to fight the case but they refused to supply.
One allegaton to understand the situation:
"In-laws advised husband to harass wife via phone" did not metioned on which day, on which phone In-laws advised husabnd and the harassment or cruelty details happened on reciving the phone call is not disclosed. Still court took the congnizance on old age parents and proceeing for framing charges.
Will court make written statements on record during the framing charges about the crime happened ... can accused ask court to supply the details of the alleged crime.
