Questions Answered by Advocate Ryan Shaji Ponganthara (25+ answers)
Q: Process after filing complaint under sec 138 for accused
Do accused has to file written statement before examination in chief once complaint filed by complainant or can be filed later or have to move on with directly cross examination (for lawyers). Can we take objection on Examination in chief
Advocate Ryan Shaji Ponganthara answered
In a cheque bounce case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, there is no strict requirement for the accused to file a written statement before the examination-in-chief. The accused may choose to present their defense through submissions or arguments during the trial. After the complainant completes the examination-in-chief by presenting their witnesses, the defense can directly proceed with cross-examination without needing to file a written statement. However, objections can be raised during the examination-in-chief if the questions posed are irrelevant, inadmissible, or if leading questions are asked inappropriately. It is essential to raise these objections at the appropriate time for the court’s consideration.
