Limitation - tep - 498a

Hello Everybody, - I have a critical question on Limitation.

Marriage in 2001, Separation in 2006, IPC 498a Case filed on me in 2009. Wife and Father in Law (FIL) deposed in Chief Examination that Jewelry, Gifts, Dowry etc ~ 36 lacs spent in 2001 at time of marriage. FIL was state govt servant, I filed RTI and obtained salary detail. He was earning gross Rs 2.2 lacs in 2001.

Filed a 'Tax Evasion Petition' in Income Tax Dept in 2012. They refused saying there is 6yr limitation and they can only go back up until 2006/ 2007.

Q1) Are there any SC/ HC judgments that allow going over the limitation especially in a criminal case with serious false allegations.

Q2) What other alternatives do I have to prove that FIL false statements in deposition

Separately, FIL now retired is earning monthly pension. I have petitioned the state department to conduct enquiry and disciplinary proceedings and stop his pension, since he has admitted giving Dowry, Not filed Asset/ Liability statement, False statement in court of law etc. Unfortunately the state govt P&AR rules have limitation up to 4 year only

Q3) Any advice will help.

Thanks a lot

Dear Querist

section 473 of Cr.PC says

Extension of period of limitation in certain cases.

Notwithstanding any thing contained in the foregoing provisions of this Chapter, any court may make cognizance of an offence after the expiry of the period of limitations, if it is satisfied on the facts and in the circumstances of the case that the delay has been properly explained or that it is necessary so to do in the interests of justice.

S/473 will not apply in case of Pensin Rules. If the reported misconduct is four years old no action is tenable against pensioner. The same is the provision in Cetral Govt as well.
