Q: quashing process, for vague allegations in BNS 85

Hello, my lawyer is suggesting to go for quashing in high court for an FIR filed under BNS85. how does quash proceed, do both sides lawyers are present in quashing and argue? how does the quashing process proceed?

Advocate Pragati Patil answered
You can reply with:A quashing petition is filed before the High Court challenging the FIR on legal grounds. After filing, notice is usually issued to the State and the complainant. Both sides are generally represented by their advocates, and the Public Prosecutor appears for the State. The Court hears the parties, examines the FIR and relevant records, and decides whether the case deserves to be quashed. If the facts and law support your case, the High Court may quash the FIR or grant appropriate interim protection.

Q: My cases are in dead-lock situation as Court is looking for physical presence of Police and Police i

My exparte divorce case and property ownership case both are on evidence stage as my spouse ran away with someone and all the legal actions have been done starting from lidging police report, sending notices, newspaper publication, expartee order announcement by the court etc. But stuck at Evidence level.The relevant police report was duly submitted as evidence in my property dispute case, but the Police officer left the court premises before the matter was heard by the Judge. To utilize this certified report in my concurrent divorce proceedings, the current presiding Judge of property case has mandated the officer's presence. Hence both of the cases are on on dead-lock. Any suggestion will be highly appreaciated for a frustrated petitioner like me to get rid of this deadlock situation like "chakrabuha" of Police and Court.

Advocate Pragati Patil answered
You can post this concise professional reply:Since your matter is at the evidence stage, your advocate can file an application seeking issuance of summons/bailable warrant to secure the presence of the concerned Police Officer. If the certified police record is admissible, you may also request the court to consider it in accordance with the Evidence Act. If repeated adjournments are causing delay, appropriate directions can also be sought from the higher court for expeditious disposal. A detailed review of the case records will help determine the best course of action.

Q: How to face Trial in BNS 85, 351, 352, 115,

Can anyone please guide me how to face trial in BNS85 case. My chargesheet is filed. And most of the allegations in the FIR are vague and baseless. How should I face trials and what things I should keep in mind during trial.

Advocate Pragati Patil answered
You can reply with:If the chargesheet has been filed, carefully examine the FIR, witness statements, and documents for inconsistencies and contradictions. The prosecution must prove the allegations beyond reasonable doubt. Attend all court dates, comply with bail conditions, and avoid contacting prosecution witnesses. If the allegations are vague or unsupported by evidence, an effective cross-examination can significantly strengthen your defence. Consult an advocate to prepare a proper trial strategy based on the chargesheet.
