Arguement on charges

Dear Mr.Kumar, 

1. When you argue on question of charge, you convince the judge that on the basis of material available, no offence is made out against you and hence charge is groundless. 

2. If Arguments on charge are successfuly - it entails a discharge not an acquittal. 

3. Charge framing is the rule - Discharge only in exceptional cases- hence if you think you can do it without legal expertise - go ahead.

Good Luck !

i fully agree with ADV. Bharat Chugh but advice you if possible pl take services of good lawyer and if your date is cumming immediatly and your not able to arrange fund for new lawyer then info the court that your earler lawyer is not ready to continue and you need sum time to take services of other lawyer and for the arrangment of new lawyer fees 

You can take help of Legal Services Authority if you cant afford fee Try.

Sec 227 Cr.PC - Discharge of accused - Where allegations made against accused not proved by evidence then rejection of application for discharge of accused unjustified. 

Citation:  Manish Jain vs. State of Jharkhand, 2002 Cr LJ 3980 (Jhr).

Instead of oral arguments file Application for Discharge under Sec.227 Cr.PC. your task becomes easier.

I am very thankful to everyone who gave their time to comment.

Now, i am very hopeful for discharge of allegations/case and i want to give some detail about my case. My father was OBC from Punjab. My mother is ST from Himachal. Parents gave us ST certificte and we used it. We never lived in Punjab. I passed 8th & 10th standard from ST area. CBI initially made FIR u/s 120B r/w 420,474,177,468,471 IPC. but finally submit chargesheet u/s 420,471 only.

Supreme court in civil appeal 654 of 2012 (&6445of 2000), declared that  authority can not cancel ST certificate solely on the basis of father's caste. there are also available government circulars in this regard. wpc no.300 of 2007, gauhati high Court also commented like this" while dealing with the offence u/s 420 IPC,it needs to be borne in mind that mens rea is an essential ingredient of an offence of cheating.When the petitionerwas admittedly not a part of criminal conspiracy to commit forgery,there can be no prosecution of the petitioner for offence u/s 420 IPC.        As petitioner was not a part of criminal conspiracy to commit  any forgery,his prosecution under the penal provisions of section 471would not be attracted when there is no material that petitioner had at any stage knowledge that the caste certificate was a false document."

Now, tell me should i argue in person with these cases in front of Hon.judge?

expecting more valuable comments..................an accused with clean hands.

Very good.  Settled law is as good as law itself.  Law declared by Supreme Court shall be law of land according to Article 141 of Constitution of India.

When law declared by Supreme Court says so there is no question of cheating. But as I suggested before hearing file Application for Discharge and put forward all your arguments in it in the form of averments.  Give citation of SC judgment mentioned above, and relevant paras.  Also encose relevant govt. circulars which support your argument.  With that 80% of your job will be over.  If you stand before judge believing in your oral communication skills you will not be able to convey as much as you want to because judges have no time to hear everything that parties to case submits.  Time is a constraint for them.  So put it in writing, file it before hearing date so that he comes to court having done homework.  If he has any doubts about your averments he will put questions clarify.  That is how you deal with the case.  Never stand there on the date of hearing with the expectation that you can explain your case orally to him, then and there itself.

1. If you have legal Knowledge you can argue the matter or conduct the case as you like there is no bar.

2. You can argue the matter either by filing petition or without petition under section 239 of Cr.pc.

3. you should go through the decisions of both H.C & S.C based on sections 227, 239, 245&258 of Cr.P.C.

4. If there is a prima face evidence to connect the crime with youit is not possible to escape or get discharge.

5. Prima faci case is a case which is established by sufficient evidence which can be rebutted only by adduciong evidence from the other party.

6. You may go through AIR 1986 s.c 2045, 1977 (2)  SCC 699 , 1996 S.C C Crl 1104, 1977((4)  SCC 39, 1977 SCC Crl 533, AIR 1970 SC 863 1997 scc crl. 585.

i am not aware wher to give application  to discharge u/s 227/239?

To judge directly before the date for framing of charges OR any other person in judge's court room OR any other place situated in premises of court.

Dear Mr. Rajinder. Argue on charge is very important thing for your case and with this you can even get your case finished at this stage even, i.e. you can be discharged right now after the date immediately if the judge thinks your case fit for discharge. And you yourself can argue the matter but try this only if you have thorough knowledge about law , otherwise engage a good lawyer. He will help you in this case. You can also call me at Panchkula on my mobile number i.e. 9815500400. Sandeep agggarwal Advocate, PKL.

There would be Advocate clerks moving around in court premises catch one of them and request to file it in your case.  They take 200, 300 rupees for doing this job.  Filing can be done by anyone, it is duty of court administration to help general public know how to do filing themselves if required.  But it is made to believe a daunting task and people believe ordinary people cannot even enter premises to do that job.  And people sitting in section also don't tolerate outsiders directly dealing with them they want "known people" only to deal with them.  The "known people" are advocate clerks or people outside the court working with Typewriters and Computers doing data entry job for Advocates. 

So you have to catch one amongst them and request them to do filing job on your behalf, they will charge anywhere between Rs.200-500/- or even more there is no fixed price for it, because that is not any job prescribed by rules to be done by them.
