Advocate Udit Chauhan answered
There is no ex parte order on first date, it is ex parte proceeding jo ki recall ho sakti hai by appearing in person and providing sufficient ground. Though the other party has objected on the grounds, but the order will be passed by the judge on the same. In general practice usually the judge allow the submission.

Q: supreme court judgement Criminal Appeal No.1882 of 2024

All sections of IPC i.e.420,467,468,470,471 120-b & Sec 13(d) of PC ACT are based basically on the "Intent" of the accused of obtaining some pecuniary benefit in cash or kind which in case the prosecution fails to prove. Will it exonerate the accused person(s) of the corruption charges due to getting diluted? Will it erase the criminal intent to convert into a civil case decided by departmental enquiry in case of Public Servants?

Advocate Udit Chauhan answered
The absence of proof of criminal intent does not automatically convert a criminal case into a civil or departmental matter. The prosecution must prove the essential ingredients of each alleged offence beyond reasonable doubt. Similarly, a departmental inquiry is separate from criminal proceedings and has a different standard of proof. Departmental exoneration does not automatically end the criminal case. The outcome depends on the specific allegations, evidence, charges, and findings in the departmental proceedings.

Q: विवाह पंजीकरण निरस्त कराने के संबंध में

यदि विवाह हुआ नहीं और लड़की व परिवार ने मिलकर लड़के डराकर फर्जी दस्तावेजों के आधार पर 15 अप्रैल 2024 को The Uttarakhand Compulsory Registration of Marriage Act, 2010 के अंतर्गत विवाह पंजीकरण करा लिया है, जिसमें विवाह 20 फरवरी 2024 को दर्शाया पंजीकरण को निरस्त कराने की क्या कानूनी प्रक्रिया है? लड़की ने शपथपत्र में यह दिखाया कि उसकी कभी शादी नहीं हुई वह अविवाहित है, जबकि लड़की ने पूर्व में एक अन्य व्यक्ति से 15 लाख लेकर तलाक लिया था। तलाक संबंधी न्यायालय के आदेश की प्रमाणित प्रति भी है

Advocate Udit Chauhan answered
Sir the plaintiff has to now prove he was compelled/coerced to appear before the registering authority and to sign/participate in the registration process. That this conduct of the plaintiff as his appearance and signature were not an expression of free and voluntary consent to this said marriage.In this case the key point is what prove does the man has that he was coerced into this registration, how are you planning to establish that?And other than this, the fact that she was previously married and divorced does not itself invalidate the marriage that took place on 20 February 2024.So prima facie the main focus should be on collecting evidence to make your case strong, with prove that your consent for the said marriage and its registration was vitiated.

Q: Marriage registration cancellation-reg.

यदि वास्तव में विवाह संपन्न नहीं हुआ था और लड़की तथा उसके परिवार ने मिलकर लड़के को डरा-धमकाकर एवं फर्जी दस्तावेजों के आधार पर 20 फरवरी, 2024 को The Uttarakhand Compulsory Registration of Marriage Act, 2010 के अंतर्गत विवाह पंजीकरण करा लिया है, तो ऐसे पंजीकरण को निरस्त कराने की क्या कानूनी प्रक्रिया है? लड़की ने शपथपत्र में यह घोषित किया है कि उसकी कभी शादी नहीं हुई वह अविवाहित है, जबकि लड़की ने पूर्व में एक अन्य व्यक्ति से तलाक लिया था। तलाक संबंधी न्यायालय के आदेश की प्रमाणित प्रति भी उपलब्ध है

Advocate Udit Chauhan answered
The marriage registration was obtained by fraud, coercion, and false declarations—the remedies that may be claimed before a court are:1. Declaration that no valid marriage ever existed between the parties.2. Cancellation/setting aside of the marriage registration certificate on the ground of fraud, coercion, misrepresentation, and non-compliance with the mandatory requirements of the law.3. Permanent injunction restraining the opposite party from claiming the status of spouse or relying upon the fraudulent marriage certificate.4. Criminal proceedings against the persons responsible for making false declarations, fabricating documents, or cheating, under the relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), wherever the ingredients of those offences are made out.5. Costs and any other relief that the court deems just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.
