In MM Court Delhi, pre-charge evidence usually happens in complaint cases before the court decides whether to frame charges. On the given date, you need to be present with your witnesses and all supporting documents. First, you as the complainant will give your statement and produce documents, which the court will mark as exhibits. The other side may be allowed to cross-examine you and your witnesses. Once this stage is over, the court will hear arguments on whether there’s enough material to frame charges or to discharge the accused. It’s important to file your documents in advance and make sure witnesses are ready so the matter isn’t delayed.

The process of executing pre-charge evidence before a Metropolitan Magistrate in Delhi begins once the accused has entered appearance and the court is yet to decide whether charges should be framed. At this stage, the complainant is required to lead evidence to establish a prima facie case. The usual practice is to first file an affidavit of evidence on behalf of the complainant, along with all supporting documents. On the date fixed, the complainant or witness confirms the affidavit and identifies the documents in the witness box. The accused is then given the opportunity to cross-examine the complainant and any other witnesses produced. If the complainant wishes to bring in additional witnesses, an application seeking summons has to be filed and, once allowed, those witnesses will also be examined and cross-examined. After the complainant closes the pre-charge evidence, the court moves to hear arguments on charge. Both sides argue on whether the evidence establishes sufficient grounds to frame charges. If the court is satisfied, charges are framed and the trial proceeds; if not, the accused may be discharged. In practice, Delhi MM courts require that the complainant carry the originals of all documents, file the affidavit and applications in advance, and be ready for cross-examination on the same day. Judges expect the proceedings to be efficient, so it is advisable to prepare a properly arranged set of documents for the court and the defence, and to have a clear list of witnesses to be examined.
