after framing of charge, the complainant will lead evidence to prove his/her case.

u can challenge the framing of charge order under revision within limitation period.

What is the limitation period? Is it different for different charges under diff sections?

I amd also interested?

revision petition lies in sessions court period ninety days

1. No question of seizeing the passport.

2. It is better to face the trial than going for revision.

3.Cheating case based on bounced cheque is not likely to end in conviction .

4. If  she does not want to appear before the court on all hearing dates request her cousel to file a petition u/s 205 Crpc

What about applying for a 'dismissal of case' application since no ingredients of a 420 cheating case are present. What are the conditions needed for such an application? Is it likely that the magistrate will take cognisance of such an application even if the case has reached 'evidence before charge' stage?

1.There is no question of " Dismissing the Case". No provision in Crpc to file such petition.

2.If charge is not framed you can argue for a dicharge.

I gues the correct terminology was 'dischargiung the case' that is what I meant. Charges are not framed as yet so what are the salient features through which one can prove that no ingredients are present for a cheating case. There was a contract and the contract had an exit clause. So how can it be cheating?

The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (CrPc)

239. When accused shall be discharged.

If, upon considering the police report and the documents sent with it under section 173 and making such examination, if any, of the accused as the Magistrate thinks necessary and after giving the prosecution and the accused an opportunity of being heard, the Magistrate considers the charge against the accused to be groundless, he shall discharge the accused, and record his reasons for so doing.

Normally breach of contract will not amount to cheating only civil liability..No special application is required for arguing for discharge.
