Investigation officer in state case is expired.

24 years old state case filed under ipc 326/324/504 etc filed in 2001. All the available witnesses recorded their evidence and public prosecutor closed the evidence 2 months ago.After that  accused statement under 313 is also recorded by the magistrate and the case is kept for argument.

           Investigation officer has expired and his statment could not be recorded. Medical officer was available and recorded his statement and there is no mention of any grievious hurt but minor injury is mentioned. Now the complainant has submitted an application requesting the court to exibit the polic documents of chemical analyses of govt lab without giving chance to defense lawyer to cross examin them. Is it posiible to exibit them at this stage.defense lawyer has already opposed for this at this stage.What will be the consequences on the statecase.All the witneses are fromthe same family who are intersted   witness.The actual eyewitnesses 6 of them mentioned in the case are not called for thier chief examination but one of them came as defense witness.All Experts give your valuable opinion on this and oblige.

It is not believable that the criminal case is pending for 24 years and that the defacto complainant has filed an  application at this stage.

You can consult your lawyer on all such further issues.

Dr. J C Vashista (Advocate )     16 February 2025

Discuss with your lawyer if you have not lost faith in him / her, otherwise, engage another local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts / documents / proceeding, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

However, Iprima faice facts posted are unconviencing.

Its a unique Sate  case of august 2001 which has prolonged for 24 years and the complainant himself has prolonged this case by submitting various applications like amendment of section 326 to 307 in 2009 then threatening the witnesses by the accused in 2017 for the witnesses which are not listed in the chargesheet.medical certificate is misplaced etc.and the 2 family members are practicing lawyer  in the same court and misusing their knowledge.meanwhile io and mo has epired and also few witnesses also expired.Evidence is already closed and accused 313 statment is also recorded. None of the 6 eyewitnesses from the charge sheet were called to record their statement but one of the prosecution eyewitness came as defense witness and recorded his statment by denying the original statement.The lady lawyer wife of the complainant is playing all these tricks and taking the valuable time of the court.One of the senior lawyer of complainant has epired in 2015 and now the junior lady lawyer is worried about legal action from bar council for filing of total false and bogus case in the court,Dear experts if anybody is intersted to know  more about this case may contact me on me email id aru_lawyer@rediffmail.com

The facts, as posted,  are less than convinving. The de-facto complainant or his advocate, if any, has limited role during the trial of a cognisable offence.

adv.venu, Sir,

what is ur obseravation is 100 % right but still the jmfc court is entertaining such applications from complainant which is time consumimg and that is the  reason the case has been draged for 24 years.All the three application made by complainant are  kept pending for order at the  time of final hearing.I dont know why court is allowing admission of such applications?those should be rejected at the admission stage itself and not to be enertained infuture.The funiest part is applications are endorsed by public prosecutor.

Now that the matter is at an advanced stage, it is better that trivial aspects are ignored. However, the de-facto complaiant is trying to overeach. you may object to his petition for production of lab reports etc.
