Power of attorney

a criminaml complaint u/s 138 n i act was filed by the power of attorny, with a defective power of attorny (the execution date of the SPOA is an year ealier than the date on which the stamp paper has been purchased:

I need to know the following: can a magistrate effect correction in the SPOA of his own without seeking reply from the complaianant in an application moved u/s 311?

Is the initial defect in the complaint not curable as the summoning of the accused was based in the complaint u/s 138 based on the defective document.

Can the accused move an application before the CJM or the Hon'ble High Court for quashing of the summoning order, please clarify.

Best regards

a sufferer

NoQ!The Magistrate must follow procedure under section 311 Cr.P.C before initiating section 138 NI proceedings against the accused.. Yes the accused can move the Magistrate court fo rquashing the defective proceedings.
