Plaint
*By:- Prateek Srivastav
Of Babu Banarsi Das University, Lucknow
Intern at MNF Law Firm

WHAT IS A PLAINT

In simple terms, a plaint can be attributed as a legal document which contains the content of a
civil suit determining the claim of the plaintiff after filing the suit. It provides the idea of what
the plaintiff wants from the suit.

Order VII of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 specifies the subject plaint. Order VII should be
read along with Section 26 of the Code of Civil Procedure which entails “Institution of suits” by
providing that “every suit shall be instituted by the presentation of a plaint or in such other
manner as may be prescribed.” This can be clearly noted from the section that for the initiation of
a suit before the civil or commercial court a plaint is very necessary.

Order IV of CPC, 1908 also defines in Rule 1 that “every suit shall be instituted by presenting a
plaint in duplicate to the court or such officer as it appoints in this behalf. Further, it also states
that every plaint shall comply with the rules contained in Order VI and VII, so far as they are
applicable. It also points out further that the plaint shall not be deemed to be duly instituted
unless it complies with the requirements specified in sub-rules (1) and (2).”

Rule 1 of Order VI of the Civil Procedure Code, 1908 also defines pleading as a plaint or a
written statement.

Therefore, these rules point out that the plaint is a must for the institution or the establishment of
any suit.

15 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

ANALYSIS OF ORDER VII (PLAINT) OF THE CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE, 1908

Under this order there are many rules differently dealing with different constituents of plaint.
These are:

1. Rules 1 to 8 dealing specifically with the particulars of a plaint.


2. Rule 9 deals with the procedure of the admission of the plaint.
3. Rule 10 to 10-B entails about the method of return of the plaint and also about the
appearance of the parties.
4. Rules 11 to 13 can be said as the main rules of the order defining the rejection the plaint
by detailing the circumstances under which the plaint can be rejected by the court.
5. Rule 14 specifies the production of document on which the plaintiff sues or relies upon.
6. Rule 16 provides the details regarding suits on negotiable instruments.
7. Rule 17 describes method about the production of shop-book, original entry to be marked
and returned.
 What are the particulars of a plaint?

A plaint is defined as a legal document containing various contents necessary without which a
plaint cannot be considered. The necessary contents are mentioned under Rules 1 to 8 of Order
VII of the Code of Civil Procedure which are as follows:

1. Rule 1 (a) states that the plaint shall contain the name of the court either commercial or
civil court in which the suit is brought.
2. Rule 1(b) highlights that the plaint shall contain the name, description and place of
residence of the plaintiff.
3. Rule 1 (c) states that the plaint shall also contain the name, description and place of
residence of the defendant to the extent they can be ascertained.
4. Rule 1 (d) provides that the plaint shall contain a statement about the unsoundness of
mind or minority in the case where either the plaintiff or defendant is of such category.

16 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
6. Rule 1 (f) provides that the plaint shall contain the facts detailing that the court has the
jurisdiction to entertain that suit.
7. Rule 1 (g) provides for the relief that is claimed by the plaintiff from the court.
8. Rule 1 (h) provides that the plaint shall also contain that amount allowed to the plaintiff
when he is ready to set-off a portion of his claim.
9. Rule 1 (i) provides that the plaint shall contain a statement of the value of the whole
subject matter of the suit for the purposes of both jurisdiction as well as court fees.

WHAT IS THE FORM OE THE PLAINT?

The form of the plaint can be ascertained by dividing the particulars of the plaint in three parts
which are heading and titles followed by the body of the plaint and at last the relief claimed by
the plaintiff(s) which is discussed below:

1. Title and Heading


a. Name of the Court concerned
b. Name of the parties to the suit
2. Description of the title of the suit
3. Body of the Plaint
4. Relief Claimed by the Plaintiff
5. Verification and Signature in the Plaint
6. Jurisdiction of the Court.

IN WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES A PLAINT MAY BE REJECTED

Rejection of plaint can be understood by Order VII Rule 1 which prescribes the basic particulars
of a plaint which cannot be missed by the pleaders and if, any of the content or all of the
particulars are missing then the plaint is liable to be rejected by the court and the plaintiff will
need to resubmit it after making the required modifications in the plaint.

17 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
Circumstances when a plaint can be rejected:

1. Where plaint does not disclose cause of action.

2. Where relief claimed is undervalued.

3. Where plaint is insufficient stamped.

4. Where suit is barred by law.

5. Where plaint is not in duplicate.

6. Where there is non-compliance with statutory provisions.

Some Additional Grounds of Rejection:

Various judicial decisions also highlight the additional conditions apart from Rule 11 which are
ascertained from them:-

Case: Radhakishen vs. Wali Mohammed AIR 1956 Hyd. 133

In this case, the court had allowed the rejection of the plaint by the senior civil court because of
the reason that the person was not the authorized signatory whose signature was present in the
plaint. The court decided to allow the amendment within 7 days but the plaintiff failed to comply
with the order and hence, the plaint was rejected.

Case: Arivandanam vs. T.V. Satyapal 1997 4 SCC 467

Another landmark judgment in the rejection of the plaint was given in this case where the court
held that it is necessary to understand the intention of the plaint from the words mentioned in it
and if the plaint is either infuriating and also the court finds it that the plaint is filed with a
malicious intent so as to cause damage to the defendant and lacks merit, it can also be a valid
rejection ground.

Written Statement
*By:- Chirayu Mehta
Of Prestige Institute of Management &
Research (Department of Law)
Inter at MNF Law Firm

When a plaintiff files a plaint raising allegations against a defendant, the defendant’s
reply to these allegations in writing is known as Written Statement. In the written statement,
the defendant must specifically deny all allegations made against him by the plaintiff in the
plaint. Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 contains the rules regarding the written statement.

WHAT IS MEANT BY WRITTEN STATEMENT

The term “written statement” has not been defined in this code. It signifies the reply to the
plaint filed by plaintiff. It is the pleading of defendant against the allegations made by plaintiff
wherein he denies/accepts the allegations made and states new facts which favour him or take
legal objections against plaintiff’s claims.

WHO CAN FILE A WRITTEN STATEMENT?

 A written statement can be filed by the defendant or his duly authorized agent.
 In case there are more than one defendant, there can be a common written statement
signed by all.
It is also sufficient that the written statement is verified by one of the defendants who is well
aware of all facts and can file an affidavit. But if independent written statements are filed by the
defendants, written statement of one does not binds others.

23 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

TIME LIMIT FOR FILING WRITTEN STATEMENT

A written statement may be filed within 30 days from the service of summons to the defendant.
The said period can also be extended to 90 days.

CONCEPT OF SET OFF AND COUNTER CLAIM

SET OFF:- The concept of Set off is given under Order 8 Rule 6 of the C.P.C., where in a suit
for recovery of money by the plaintiff, the defendant finds that he has also a claim of some
amount against the plaintiff, he can claim a st-off in respect of the said amount.

COUNTER CLAIM:- The concept of Counter Claim is given under Order 8 Rules 6A to 6G.
The counter claim is the claims of the defendants other than the set off. It is a type of cross case
where the plaintiff has to file a written statement for the counter claim by the defendant.

DEFENCES IN WRITTEN STATEMENT

The defendant can specifically deny the allegations made in the plaint against him by the
plaintiff. Also, he can claim to set off any sums of money payable by the plaintiff relating to the
matter in the issue raised in the plaint, he can separately file a counter claim along with his
written statement.
Rules of defence
Rules 1-5 and 7-10 contain particulars of a written statement.
Rules 2-5 and 7-10 deal with special rules of filing a written statement. Which are:
1. The defendant must raise by his pleading all matters which show the suit not be maintainable,
or that the transaction is either void or voidable in point of law, and all such grounds of defence
as, if not raised, would be likely to take the opposite party by surprise, or would raise issues of

MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
fact not arising out of the plaint, as, for instance, fraud, limitation, release, payment,
performance, or facts showing illegality.

alleged by the plaintiff, but the defendant must deal specifically with each allegation of fact of
which he does not admit the truth, except damages.

3. Where a defendant denies an allegation of fact in the plaint, he must not do so evasively, but
answer the point of substance. Thus, if it is alleged that he received a certain sum of money, it
shall not be sufficient to deny that he received that particular amount, but he must deny that he
received that sum or any part thereof, or else set out how much he received. And if an allegation
is made with diverse circumstances, it shall not be sufficient to deny it along with those
circumstances.

4. Where every allegation or fact in a plaint is not denied specifically, or by necessary


implication, except under disability, the court may require to proof such fact otherwise than by
such admission.

5. If the defendant fails to present written statement within limitation period, the court may
pronounce judgement against him or pass any order in relation to the suit as it deems fit.

6. No pleading after written statement of the defendant other than by way of defence to set-off or
counterclaim can be filed.

C.P.C.

1. It is submitted that the defendant has gone through the averments made in the plaint
and affidavit filed in support of the plaint. The averments, which are not specifically
admitted, are denied. The Plaintiff is put to strict proof of the same. Most of the averments
are not correct and false and the suit is not maintainable.

27 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
2. In reply to Para III (1) of the plaint, it is submitted that I have no acquaintance with the
plaintiff and did not approach at any point of time for hand loan to meet my son’s college
admission expenses and executed promissory note in favour of the plaintiff. Hence, there is
no question of taking hand loan from the plaintiff and execution of promissory note in
favour of the plaintiff.
3. In reply to paragraph III (2) of the plaint, it is submitted that the notice issued by the
plaintiff was received by me on 1st August 2020 the contents of the notice are vague and
false. Since I did not approach the plaintiff for any hand loan and executed promissory
note, I did not choose to reply the notice. Hence, the allegations in the notice are denied.
4. In reply to paragraph III (3) of the plaint, it is submitted that I did not borrow any
amount from the plaintiff and executed promissory note in favour of him. The allegation of
the plaintiff is false and I need not bound to pay any amount to the plaintiff. It is not
correct to say that I have borrowed a sum of Rs.1,50,000/- from the plaintiff and executed a
promissory note in favour of him.
5. In reply to Para III (4) of the plaint, it is submitted that since there is no amount is
borrowed from the plaintiff and executed pro-note, the figures of outstanding stated
therein is false and fabricated one.
6. It is submitted that I have never approached the plaintiff for any amount said to have
been borrowed by me and executed pro-note. Since we reside in the same street and due to
rivalry between our two families regarding some disputes relating to colony problems, the
plaintiff has fabricated the pro-note and filed the present suit alleging that I have borrowed
a sum of Rs.1,50,000/- from plaintiff and executed a pro-note. The plaintiff is trying to
mislead this Hon’ble Court and made false allegations in the plaint.
7. The other allegations of the plaint which are not specifically admitted herein are denied.
The plaintiff is put to strict proof of the same. Hence, it is prayed that this Hon’ble Court
may be pleased to dismiss the suit with costs.

Interlocutory Applications
*By:- Srishti Trigunayat
Of ICFAI University, Jaipur
Intern at MNF Law Firm

INTRODUCTION

The Civil Rules of Practice and Circular Orders,1980 Rule 2(J) defines :

“Interlocutory application” means an application to the Court in any suit, appeal or proceeding
already instituted in such Court, other than a proceeding for execution of a decree or order. The
orders which are passed in those applications are called as interlocutory orders.

There is no specific definition in Civil Procedure Code,1908 to this phrase ‘Interlocutory


application’. Rules 53 to 60 deal with Interlocutory Proceedings. The provision dealing with the
incidental proceedings is contained under part III Of the code of civil procedure. But such
applications are moved under various provisions of the Code of civil procedure, 1908 which
include applications for appointment of Commissioner, Temporary Injunctions, Receivers,
payment into court, security for cause, and etc. In fact, there are in total of 382 different
nomenclature of interlocutory applications, as provided on the Hon’ble Supreme court’s website.

Sec 141 of CPC provides, that the procedure provided in the Code of Civil Procedure, in regard
to suit shall be followed, as far as it can be made applicable, in all proceedings in any court of
civil jurisdiction, therefore the procedure with regard to such applications is the same as that of
original suit, in matters like recording of evidence, examining witnesses etc.

30 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
Moreover, interlocutory applications usually require the responding party to provide
an affidavit to ensure they are providing accurate and truthful information. You may also be able
to object to responding to them, depending on the nature of the application. Otherwise the
application will be clear of what you need to do to respond to an interlocutory application.

DRAFTING OF INTERLOCUTORY APPLICATIONS

The grounds on which application is moved should to the extent possible be stated in the words
of the law under which the application is fitted. For example, in an application for setting aside
an expert decree against the defendant, the defendant should say that "the summon was not duly
served" or that "the defendant was prevented by any sufficient cause from appearing when the
suit was called on for the hearing". It is not advisable to employ a language different from the
law under which the application is made. Like a plaint every application should have a heading
and a title. The name of the Court should be given at the top and thereafter should follow the
name of the applicant and the opposite party. When the application is moved in connection with
a suit or proceeding, the number and the cause title of that suit or proceeding alone should be
given after the name of the court. The body of the application should be either in the form of
petition or it may be written like plaint.

It is not absolutely necessary that the law under which the application is filed should be given.
Like pleadings facts in the application should be stated in brief and concise language. The
application should be divided into paragraphs and one paragraph as far as possible should narrate
one allegation except where two or more allegations are so connected with each other that it is
better to give them in one paragraph. With some application , affidavits are filed and if in such
cases the facts are too long things need not be narrated in the application. The application should
end with a prayer. After prayer, should follow the signature of the applicant where law requires
the verification, the application should also be verified.

MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

a) TEMPORARY INJUNCTIONS :

A temporary injunction restrains a party temporarily from doing the specified act and can be
granted only until the disposal of the suit or until the further orders of the court. It is
regulated by the provisions of Order 39 of the CPC and may be granted at any stage of the
suit.

ORDER 39 RULE 1 :

Temporary injunctions may be granted by a court in the following cases :

plaintiff in relation to any property in dispute in the suit or proceedings.
 Where the defendant is about to commit a breach of contract or other injury of any kind.
 Where the court is of the opinion that in the interest of justice it is so required.

PRINCIPLES :

The power to grant temporary injunctions is at the discretion of the court. This discretion
however should be exercised reasonably, judiciously and on sound legal principles. Before
granting the injunction the court must be satisfied about these aspects :

i. Prima Facie case


ii. Irreparable injury
iii. Balance of convenience
iv. Other factors

CASE LAWS ON TEMPORARY INJUNCTION :

33 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
 Courts generally issue injunctions where the right sought to be protected is clear and not
where it is doubtful. (Union of India vs. Amrik Singh AIR 1963 Punj. 104)
 A temporary injunction cannot be granted to establish a new state of things differing from the
state of things which existed on the date when proceedings were instituted. (Nandan Pictures
Ltd., vs. Art Pictures Ltd. AIR 1956 Cal 428)

b) ATTACHMENT BEFORE JUDGEMENTS :

(Order 38 Rule 5 of Code Civil Procedure deals with attachment before judgments)

Order 38 Rule 5: Where defendant may be called upon to furnish security for production of
property –

defendant, with intent to obstruct or delay the execution of any decree that may be passed
against him, -
a) is about to dispose of the whole or any part of his property, or
b) is about to remove the whole or any part of his property from the local limits of the
jurisdiction of the Court, the Court may direct the defendant, within a time to be fixed by
it, either to furnish security, in such sum as may be specified in the order, to produce and
place at the disposal of the Court, when required, the said property or the value of the
same, or such portion thereof as may be sufficient to satisfy the decree, or to appear and
show cause why he should not furnish security.
2. The plaintiff shall, unless the Court otherwise directs, specify the property required to be
attached and the estimated value thereof.
3. The Court may also in the order direct the conditional attachment of the whole or any
portion of the property so specified.
4. If an order of attachment is made without complying with the provisions of sub-rule (1)
of this rule, such attachment shall be void.

FEW CASE LAWS ON ATTACHMENT BEFORE JUDGMENTS:

34 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
1. Court while exercising its jurisdiction under Order XXXVIII, Rule 5 of CPC is required
to form a prima facie opinion at that stage. (Rajendran vs. Shankar Sundaram AIR 2008
SC 1170)
2. In a suit against a partnership firm and its partners, even the personal property of any of
the partners can be attached before the judgment. (D.V.Krishnamurthy vs. P.Viswanadh
AIR 1994 AP 43)
3. Attachment before judgment, to be ordered on reasonable grounds, and not on mere
conjectures and imaginations. For passing of an order thereunder, requisite intention of
the defendant has to be proved. (Uco Bank, Madras vs. Sukra Shoe Fabric and others AIR
192 Mad. 293)

5. Commissions to make partitions (O.26-R.13 CPC)
6. Commissions issued at the instance of foreign Tribunals (O.26-R.19 to R.22 CPC)

CASE LAWS ON APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS:-

In the case of Sarala Jain and others vs. Sangu Gangadhar and others [2016 (3) ALT 132], it was
held that to appoint an advocate commissioner, Court has to keep in mind the following:

1. Total pleadings of both parties;


2. Relief claimed in suit;
3. Appointment of advocate commissioner for specific purpose at interlocutory stage shall
not amount to grant pre-trial decree; and

MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
In the case of Mohammed Jaffer Abdul Qadeer Qureshi vs. Aziz-ur-Rehman Qureshi and others

for perpetual injunction, an Advocate Commissioner can be appointed – However, a
Commissioner cannot be appointed to find out as to who amongst the parties is in possession of
the property as it is a judical function.

d) APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVERS :

himself has, or such of those powers as the Court thinks fit.
2) Nothing in this rule shall authorize the Court to remove from the possession or custody of
property, any person whom any party to the suit has not a present right so to remove.

Partnership Deed
*By:- Tanvi Garg
Inter at MNF Law Firm

DEFINITION

The law of partnership is contained in the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 which is read with
general principles of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 that are not inconstant. The term Partnership
is defined in the Indian Partnership Act, 1932 (Section 4) as “Partnership is the relation between
persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any of them acting
for all”.

SALIENT FEATURES

The main features of a partnership deed are as follows:

 NAME OF THE PARTNERSHIP (SECTION 12): The most essential aspect of a firm
is its name, so the partnership agreement will consist of the name by which it would start
their business. It is essential to ensure the chosen name has not been registered with the
registrar.

 NAME OF THE PARTNERS: The partnership agreement starts with writing the names
and addresses of the partners that are involved in the partnership.

41 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
 NATURE OF THE BUSINESS: It is essential to mention what kind of business would
be done by the partners in their firm. This is essential as all the partners should be clear
on the business of the firm before they sign the contract.

 LOCATION OF THE BUSINESS: The head office of the firm is another element that
is required in the partnership agreement to define the office where the business of the
firm would be operated.
 COMMENCEMENT OF THE BUSINESS: The partnership agreement ensures that
the date and place where the business of the firm would start is also mentioned.

 DURATION OF THE BUSINESS (SECTION 8): Generally, the duration of a business


is defined as a fixed period or for an indefinite period or will continue till the time the
venture is completed. The firm needs to mention this in the agreement.

 MANAGEMENT OF THE FIRM (SECTION 13): The management of a firm can


actively take part in the matters of the firm or may appoint someone to work on behalf of
them. The partners need to mention their role in the deed.

 AMOUNT OF CAPITAL: Every partner needs to bring some amount to contribute


towards the firm, the total amount of capital and the percentage of contribution to it by
partners is written in the deed.

 AMOUNT OF DRAWINGS: Incase a partner needs to withdraw some amount for his
personal usage, then for such an amount a limit needs to be set that is given in the
partnership agreement.

 PROFIT SHARING RATIO (SECTION 11): The ratio of profit division also needs to
be written in the deed that sets the futuristic profits that each would receive.

 INTEREST ON CAPITAL AND DRAWINGS: Generally, in a business interest of


capital and drawings may or may not be allowed. In case, it is allowed then the annual
rate of it needs to be mentioned.

42 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

 SALARY TO PARTNERS: The partnership agreement consists of whether any partner


from the management would receive any salary or not and the amount in case they are
allowed.

 PREPARATION OF FINAL ACCOUNT: Every firm creates a final account wherein


the period needs to be mentioned which maybe these months, many months, or a whole
year. The date and period after which the final account will be prepared needs to be put in
the deed.
 ADDITIONAL FUNDS: The details regarding any additional fund that may be brought
from outsiders or partners need to be provided in the deed apart from that of the paid-up
capital.

 AUDIT OF ACCOUNTS: A firm gets audited after periodic intervals, so certain rules
may be set depending on which the internal and external audit can be done.

 BANK ACCOUNTS: The type of bank account that would be used for the business
purposes needs to be set. These can be either a joint account or the authorization to open
a bank account and sign the cheques would be provided to one partner only. This needs to
be laid down in the agreement.

 ADMISSION AND WITHDRAWAL OF PARTNERS: The basis on which the


partners may be added or can leave are required to be set in the deed to ensure a smooth
flow of such acts when it comes to it.

 VALUATION OF GOODWILL: Goodwill is an important factor as it is done at the


time of admission and withdrawal of a partner, the way it is evaluated is provided in the
deed.

 RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF PARTNERS: The rules needed to be defined as to how the
partners would act and how they would perform. These rights and duties are essential to
mention to ensure the proper functioning of the firm. These should be there in the deed.

43 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
These features are essential for any partnership deed as without these essentials it would be
incomplete and to be accepted by the Registrar of the Partnership Firms all essential points
should be present.

RELEVANT PROVISIONS AS PER LAWS

The Partnership Act, 1932 governs the laws regarding partnership which superseded the law
contained in Chapter XI of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Partnership Act, 1932 ensures that
any firm that is formulated under this act is provided with the remedies associated with this. The
firm needs to be approved by the Registrar in order to reap the benefits and protections of the
Act.

The necessary aspects that are needed in a partnership are provided in Section 4 without which a
partnership is null and void (these are an agreement between partners must be there, purpose and
motive why the business is created and for which it should be earning and sharing profits, and
whether the firm is in the mutual agency. In the Partnership Act, 1932 the maximum limit of
persons in a partnership is given in Section 11 as 10 persons in the banking business and 20
persons in any other purpose. Also, the maximum members in a private company is 50 while no
such limit is defined in a public company.

DEFINITION OF SALE
Section 54 of the Act defines sale. Sale is the transfer of ownership in exchange for a

51 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
Immediate sale or contract of sale means instant sale. Contract for sale means agreement
to sell.

S.54 of the Act defines contract for sale. It is a contract that a sale of such property shall
take place on condition (terms) settled between parties.

In a contract for sale the property passes to the buyer only after some days ie, after the
condition is fulfilled. In other words in a contract for sale title passes after some conditions are
fulfilled.

Contract of sale creates a right in rem and contract for sale creates a right in personam.

In India contract for sale does not create any interest on such property. The English law is
different. In England an agreement to sell creates a right in equity.

Affidavit
*By:- Shivani Yadav
Of S&S Law College, Indore
Intern at MNF Law Firm

MEANING OF AFFIDAVIT

An affidavit is a willingly made declaration in writing sign by a deponent an accompanied by an


oath. The word ‘Affidavit' has been derived from a Latin word, which means ‘pledge once
faith'. The law on affidavit in India is governed by Sec. 139 Order XIX of the Code of Civil
Procedure. Whereas, before recording a statement, the authorities administer oath to the witness.
This could make affidavit acceptable as evidence under the Indian Evidence Act, 1972 and
Indian Oath Act. Here, the authority means a notary. Notary is a state officer whose functions are
to attest and certify, by his hand and official seal, various documents in order to give them
authenticity in other jurisdictions. However, the functions of a notary is ministerial and not
judicial.

According to Section 139 of Civil Procedure code- Affidavit is a statement in writing made
before an officer of the court, authorized to administer oaths. The person making the affidavits
known as deponent of he deposes to facts contained therein.

ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF AN AFFIDAVIT

 Written form- An affidavit is used as a record in court, hence it must be in writing and
also must be certify by competent authority.

61 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
 Affirmation- Affidavit must contains a declaration made by a person for his statements.
 Attestation - It is to be attested by an authorized officer to administer the oath that the
affidavit was sworn by the deponent in the presence of that officer.
 True facts - An affidavit must relate to the true facts and not interferences from the
same. There is a provision of punishment for the false statement in the affidavit.

TYPES OF AFFIDAVIT

There are numerous types of affidavits are present. But some of the major types are listed below-

 Courts affidavit – When an affidavit is used to support the written motion as the witness
is not present in front of court, hence the usage of affidavit in court affairs are known as
Court affidavit.
 Self-proving will affidavit- At the time, when the maker died, it was necessary to have
the witnesses testified in court in order to make the will valid. With the help of self-
proving will affidavit, the will is automatically deemed to be valid without any testimony
of the witnesses.
 Affidavit of power of attorney- when an affidavit is made by a person(principal) to
authorize another person(agent) to act on his behalf, this is known as Affidavit of power
of attorney. This power of attorney would be end when the principal dies or revokes it.
 Financial Affidavit- Each affidavit which includes some sort of financial transactions
such affidavits are financial affidavits.
 Affidavit of identity theft - If any person have been the victim of identity theft, then
they may need to provide an affidavit certifying the theft to their creditors and banks.
 Affidavit of debt – It states that someone owes a specific amount to an entity or another
person. These are common in bankruptcy cases or may be used when a company is
getting ready to close down. The original contract is more valuable than an affidavit
when proving debt, so you should use that if possible. Furthermore, if you have to prove
that someone owes you money, an affidavit is not enough—you do need the original
contract.

62 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

EVIDENTIARY VALUE OF AN AFFIDAVIT

Generally, affidavits are not included within the purview of the definition of evidence provided
by the Section 3 of Evidence Act 1872. But, the same can be used as evidence only if for
sufficient reasons, the court passes an order under Order 12 of the code of Civil Procedure.
However, Rule 1 order 19 is invoked by the court when it finds that it is necessary to make an
order for any particular fact that may be proved by affidavit. The opposing counsel has the right
to cross- examine or reply in affidavit, if a person provides affidavit as an evidence. The Court
can reject the affidavit if it is not properly verified and not in conformity with the rules of the
code.

 Case Law :-
1. Noor Khan Pathan v. State of Maharashtra
- 4 SCC 465 (2013)

Supreme Court held that affidavit can be relied upon when the deponent is available for cross
examination in terms of Order 18 rule 4 CPC. Thus, it is now clarified that affidavit is not
evidence within the meaning of Section 3 of the Evidence Act unless a chance to effectively
cross-examine is given to another person.

Punishment of False Affidavit

 Sec. 191 IPC,1860 – Whoever, being legally bound by an oath or by an express


provision of law to state the truth, or being bound by law to make a declaration upon any
subject, makes any statement which is false, and which he either knows or believes to be
false or does not believe to be true, is said to give false evidence.
 Sec. 193 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 – Any person who intentionally gives false
statement at any stage of judicial proceeding or fabricates false evidence for the purpose
of being used at any stage of the judicial proceedings, shall be punished with
imprisonment of either in description which may extend And shall also be liable to fine

63 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
and whoever Intentionally gives or fabricates false evidence In any other case shall be
punished with imprisonment of either description Or a term which may extend to Three
years and also may be liable for fine.
 Section 199 IPC,1860 - False statement made in declaration which is by law receivable
as evidence – Whoever, in any declaration made or subscribed by him, which declaration
any court of justice, or any public servant or other person, is bound or authorized by law
to receive as evidence of any fact, makes any statement which is false, and which he
either knows or believes to be false or does not believe to be true, touching any point
material to the object for which the declaration is made or used, shall be punished in the
same manner as if he gave false evidence.
 Section 200 IPC,1860 – Using as true such declaration knowing it to be false – Whoever
corruptly uses or attempts to use as true any such declaration, knowing the same to be
false in any material point, shall he punished in the same manner as if he gave false
evidence.

Case Laws:-

1. Amar Singh v. Union of India and Others

The Supreme Court has issued directions to the courts registry to carefully scrutinize all
affidavits, petitions and applications and reject those which do not conform to the
requirements of Order XIX of the Code of Civil Procedure and Order XI of the Supreme
Court Rules. The Supreme Court has highlighted the importance of affidavits in this
judgment and has discussed various judicial pronouncements on the aspect.

2. State of Bombay v. Purushottam Jog Naik,


- AIR 1952 SC 317

Vivian Bose, J. speaking for the Court, held: We wish, however, to observe that the
verification of the affidavits produced here is defective. The body of the affidavit discloses that
certain matters were known to the Secretary who made the affidavit personally. The verification
however states that everything was true to the best of his information and belief. We point this
out as slipshod verifications of this type might well in a given case lead to a rejection of the
affidavit. Verification should invariably be modelled on the lines of Order 19, Rule 3, of the
64 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
Civil Procedure Code, whether the Code applies in terms or not. And when the matter deposed to
is not based on personal knowledge the sources of information should be clearly disclosed.

3. Virendra Kumar Saklecha v. Jagjiwan and others

-(1972) 1 SCC 826]

Supreme Court while dealing with an election petition dealt with the importance of
disclosure of source of information in an affidavit. This Court held that non-disclosure will
indicate that the election petitioner did not come forward with the source of information at
the first opportunity. The importance of disclosing such source is to give the other side notice
of the same and also to give an opportunity to the other side to test the veracity and
genuineness of the source of information. The same principle also applies to the petitioner in
this petition under Article 32 which is based on allegations of political motivation against
some political parties in causing alleged interception of his telephone. The absence of such
disclosure in the affidavit, which was filed along with the petition, raises a prima facie
impression that the writ petition was based on unreliable facts

4. M/s Sukhwinder Pal Bipan Kumar and others v. State of Punjab and others

-[(1982) 1 SCC 31]

A three Judge Bench of this Court in dealing with petitions under Article 32 of the
Constitution held that under Order XIX Rule 3 of the Code it was incumbent upon the
deponent to disclose the nature and source of his knowledge with sufficient particulars. In a
case where allegations in the petition are not affirmed, as aforesaid, it cannot be treated as
supported by an affidavit as required by law.

Bail in Non-Bailable Offences


*By:- Manpreet Kaur
Intern at MNF Law Firm

DEFINITION OF BAIL:

According to Wharton’s Law Lexicon, the term ‘bail’ means to “set at liberty a person
arrested- on security being taken for his appearance.”

The term ‘bail’ is not defined under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter
referred to as the Cr.P.C.) although the terms bailable offence” and “non- bailable offence”
have been defined.

Section 2(a) of the Cr.P.C. defines “bailable offence” means an offence which is shown as
bailable in the first schedule, or which is made bailable by any other law for the time being in
force; and “non-bailable offence” means any other offence.

In bailable offence, bail is granted as a matter of right whereas in a non- bailable offence, it is
a matter of the discretion of the Court or the officer concerned

OBJECT OF BAIL:

The object of bail is primarily an expedient to secure the attendance of an accused at the trial.
To ensure that he doesn’t run away. If there are means of ensuring an accused presence at trial
and ensuring that a fair investigation and trial can be ensured with the accused being enlarged,
bail shouldn’t be denied. It needs to be remembered that an accused who enjoys freedom is in

73 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
a much better position to look after his case and to properly defend himself at the trial than if
he is custody.

ANALYSIS OF SECTION 437 OF Cr.P.C.

Section 437:- When bail may be taken in case of non- bailable offence-

1) When any person accused of, or suspected of, the commission of any non- bailable
offence is arrested or detained without warrant by an officer in charge of a police
station or appears or is brought before a Court other than the High Court or Court of
Session, he may be released on bail, but-
i) Such person shall not be so released if there appear reasonable grounds for
believing that he has been guilty of an offence punishable with death or
imprisonment for life;
ii) Such person shall not be so released if such offence is a cognizable offence and
he had been previously convicted of an offence punishable with death,
imprisonment for life or imprisonment for seven years or more, or he had been
previously convicted on two or more occasions of a cognizable offence
punishable with imprisonment for three years or more but not less than seven
years:

Provided that the Court may direct that a person referred to in clause (i) or
clause (ii) be released on bail if such person is under the age of sixteen years or
is a woman or is sick or infirm:

Provided further that the Court may also direct that a person referred to in
clause (ii) be released on bail if it is satisfied that it is just and proper so to do
for any other special reason:

Provided also that the mere fact that an accused person may be required for
being identified by witnesses during investigation shall not be sufficient ground

74 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
for refusing to grant bail if he is otherwise entitled to be released on bail and
gives an undertaking that he shall comply with such directions as may be given
by the Court:

Provided also that no person shall, if the offence alleged to have been
committed by him is punishable with death, imprisonment for life, or
imprisonment for seven years or more, be released on bail by the Court under
this sub-section without giving an opportunity of hearing to the Public
Prosecutor.

2) If it appears to such officer or Court at any stage of the investigation, inquiry or trial,
as the case may be, that there are not reasonable grounds for believing that the accused
has committed a non- bailable offence, but that there are sufficient grounds for further
inquiry into his guilt, the accused shall, subject to provisions of section 446-A and
pending such inquiry , be released on bail, or, at the discretion of such officer or Court
on the execution by him of a bond without sureties for his appearance as hereinafter
provided.

3) When a person accused or suspected of the commission of an offence punishable with


imprisonment which may extend to seven years or more or, of an offence under
Chapter VI, Chapter XVI or Chapter XVII or the Indian Penal Code or abetment of, or
conspiracy or attempt to commit, any such offence, is released on bail under sub-
section (1), the Court shall impose the conditions,-

a) that such person shall attend in accordance with the conditions of the bond executed
under this Chapter,
b) that such person shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which he is
accused, or suspected, of the commission of which he is suspected, and
c) that such person shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat, or
promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him

75 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the
evidence,
and may also impose, in the interests of justice, such other conditions as it considers
necessary.

4) An officer or a Court releasing any person on bail under sub- section (1) or sub-
section (2), shall record in writing his or its reasons or special reasons for so doing.

5) Any Court which has released a person on bail under sub- section (1) or sub- section
(2), may, if it considers it necessary so to do, direct that such person be arrested and
commit him to custody.

6) If, in any case triable by a Magistrate, the trial of a person accused of any non- bailable
offence is not concluded within a period of sixty days from the first date fixed for
taking evidence in the case, such person shall, if he is in custody during the whole of
the said period, be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Magistrate, unless for
reasons to be recorded in writing, the Magistrate otherwise directs.

7) If, at any time after the conclusion of the trial of a person accused of a non- bailable
offence and before judgment is delivered, the Court is of opinion that there are
reasonable grounds for believing that the accused is not guilty of any such offence, it
shall release the accused, if he is in custody, on the execution by him of a bond without
sureties for his appearance to hear judgment delivered.

EXPLANATION OF SECTION 437 :

When any person accused of, or suspected of, the commission of a non- bailable
offence is arrested or detained without warrant by an officer in charge of a police
station or it appears or is brought before a Court other than the High Court or Court of
Session, he may be released on bail, but-

76 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
i. Such person shall not be so released if
 There appear reasonable grounds for believing that he has been
guilty of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for
life.

ii. Such person shall not be so released if


 Such offence is a cognizable offence and
 He had been previously convicted of an offence punishable with
death, imprisonment for life or imprisonment for seven years or
more, or
 He had been previously convicted on two or more occasions of a
non- bailable offence.

Exceptions -

 Below 16 years of age; or


 Woman; or
 Sick; or
 infirm

“Reasonable grounds for believing that he has been guilty of an offence punishable with
death or imprisonment for life”- The main question to consider is- “are there reasonable
grounds for believing that the petitioner is guilty of the offence of which he has been
accused.” Other considerations must also arise in deciding the question of releasing the
accused on bail, and one of these, which has always guided Courts of Justice is whether there
are grounds for supposing that the accused, if released on bail, would abscond and attempt to
escape justice by avoiding or delaying an inquiry or trial. (Jamini Mullick v. Emperor 1908
ILR 36 Cal 174).

77 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
It has been held by the Supreme Court that conditions of bail should not be so onerous as to
make it beyond the reach of the accused (Moti Ram v. State of Madhya Pradesh 1978 CrLJ
1703.

In Chintamani Tripathi v. State of UP 1991 CrLJ 1662, where there has been enormous delay
in the commitment of the case and there was no possibility of the Sessions trial concluding the
trial in the near future, the applicant was held entitled to bail.

Release of woman, Sick, infirm or children below 16- [Sub- section (1) Proviso I]- Where
a daughter in law was killed by mother in law and other members of the family, it was held
that mother in law was not entitled to bail simply because of the proviso I, sub- section (1) of
section 437 (1) CrPc, which is not a mandatory provision ( Chandrawati v. State of UP 1992
CrLJ 3634.

Release of previous convicts on bail [Sub- section (1) Proviso II]- The proviso entitles the
accused to be enlarged on bail, if he is entitled to be so enlarged, even though he may be
required for purposes of identification during the course of investigation. ( Ram Prakash
Pandey v. State of UP 2001 9 SCC 121

ANALYSIS OF SECTION 439 OF Cr.P.C.

Bail for Non- Bailable Offences

Section 439(1) confers power on the High Court or Court of Session-

 to grant bail to a person in any case without condition or with condition in certain
specified offences and subject to the procedural limitation imposed by the proviso in
respect of certain specified offences, and
 to set aside or modify any condition imposed by a Magistrate while granting bail.

Section 439 (2) gives power to the High Court or Court of Session to cause any person who
has been admitted to bail by itself or by any Criminal Court under this chapter to be re-

78 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
arrested and committed to custody i.e the power to cancel the bail granted to an accused
person.

Where should one go first for bail u/s 439?

Sessions Court or High Court.

The jurisdiction, as we lawyers like to call it is- concurrent, but as a matter of prudence and
strategy, one should exhaust remedies before Sessions Court before going to High Court.

Section 439 gives an unfettered discretion to the High Court or the Court of Session to admit
an accused person to bail, but that discretion must be exercised judicially. The power of the
High Court and Court of Session to grant bail is not fettered by the restrictions contained in
section 437.

It has been held by the SC that the object of bail is to secure the appearance of the accused at
his trial. The object of bail is neither punitive nor preventive. Hence, grant of bail is the rule
and committal to jail, an exception. Refusal of bail is a restriction on personal liberty of
individual guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution.

WHO IS EMPOWERED TO GRANT BAIL IN NON- BAILABLE CASES?

The Court and the Police Officer.

The jurisdiction is to be exercised with great care and caution by balancing valuable right of
personal liberty of an individual constitutionally protected under Article 21 of the Constitution
of India versus the interests of society, in general. The discretionary power of the Court to
admit to bail is not arbitrary, but is judicial, and is governed by established principles. The
High Court of Allahabad directed that when a particular person surrenders and makes an
application for bail, it should be considered the same day. The discretion is to be exercised
keeping in mind settled guidelines and considerations.

79 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

CAN BAIL BE GRANTED IF THE OFFENCE IS GRAVE AND HEINOUS?

Gravity of the offence, while it is required to be considered by the Court, it is not the sole
consideration for grant or refusal of bail. Gravity has to be gathered from facts and
circumstances of each case.

Economic offences would fall under the category of “grave offence” and the nature of
allegation made against the accused is to be considered while granting bail along with the term
of sentence prescribed for the offence alleged. However, even if the allegation is one of grave
economic offence, it is not a rule that bail should be denied in every case since there is no
such bar created in the relevant enactment passed by the Legislature nor does the bail
jurisprudence provide so, especially if other factors favour the accused.

In P. Chidambaram v. Directorate of Enforcement 2019 SCC Online SC 1549, the practice of


handing over information by investigators in sealed envelopes to the Court to oppose bail has
been deprecated by the Court.

ORDER DATED 10/06/2020 PASSED BY THE PENDING BEFORE THE LD.
JUDICIAL MAGISTRATE FIRST CLASS, HATHIRA,

MAY IT PLEASE THIS HON’BLE COURT:

On behalf of the Applicant/Accused it is most respectfully submitted as hereunder:

1. The Applicant is a 35 year old woman and is a qualified teacher by profession. She is gainfully
employed and she is working in Christ English School, Rantunk.

(Annexure-A is the copy of the Aadhar Card and the ID card as issued by Christ English
School, Rantunk)

2. The Applicant/Accused came to be arrested on 04/06/2020 and she was produced on


05/06/2020 by the Hathira Police before the Ld. Judicial Magistrate First Class, Hathira and
was remanded to Police Custody till 10/06/2020 for an alleged crime being CR No. 999/2020
of Hathira Police Station u/s 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 IPC, 1860.

(Annexure-B is the copy of the FIR bearing no. 9876/2020 of Hathira Police Station)
(Annexure-C is the copy of the Remand Application dated 05/06/2020 and the order
passed therein)

3. The Applicant was thereafter, produced on 10/06/2020 and she came to be remanded to Judicial
Custody by the said Ld. Magistrate.

(Annexure-D is the copy of the Remand Application dated 10/06/2020 and the order
passed therein)
4. The Applicant/Accused is a teacher by profession and she is falsely implicated in the above
mentioned case. She denies the allegations made against her and as such, is innocent.

84 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

PROSECUTION CASE:

5. IT is It is the case of the prosecution that on the Complaint of Enizam Mazar , a Municipal
Employee that whilst they were recruiting people for the post of Laboratory Technician, in the
calendar year 2015, there were in all seven employees who were found to have resorted to
unfair means by producing fake qualification certificates for the purposes of obtaining such
post.
6. It is further the case of the prosecution that the seven persons had approached the Applicant
via some intermediaries and in turn, the Applicant had introduced those persons to one Venkat
Raman who is not arrested and such person had made the certificates which were allegedly
found to be false.
7. The case of the Applicant is of total denial. Her arrest is only out of spite and as such, such
arrest is against the violation of many such norms including a catena of Apex Court decisions.
The present applicant could have been made a witness instead of being termed as an Accused.
By arresting her, the full advantage has been given to the main culprits and absconding
accused. The present Applicant is a woman and is a teacher by profession and by no means
has any previous Criminal antecedents.

GROUNDS FOR BAIL:


a. The case is a stale case pertaining to the year 2015 to 2017 as per the FIR lodged by the
Police. The name of the Applicant does not feature in the list of Accused as
mentioned in the FIR.
b. The Applicant/Accused is neither a main Accused nor an accessory. At the most, she is
a witness.
c. The offences as alleged against her do not in any way fit in the role assigned to her. So,
the above sections and their applicability vis-a-vis the Applicant is totally ruled out. The
offences are exclusively triable by the metropolitan magistrate’s court.

85 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

d. The Applicant/Accused is picked up from her work place under the guise of recording
her statement and is shown arrested. Incidentally, a witness summons u/s 160 of CrPC
was sent to her a few days ago and her statement was recorded. The present arrest is
therefore, a surprise and contrary to all the norms as laid down under the Law and she is
therefore, a victim of the evil machinations of the Police Department.
e. No property is to be recovered from her or alternatively, no such incriminating material
is to be recovered from her. The house of the Applicant is also searched and nothing
incriminating is found.
f. The Applicant has been in Police Custody for more than 5(five) days and was granted
Judicial Custody on 10/10/2019. The necessary investigation pertaining to the present
Applicant/Accused is complete.
g. The Applicant/Accused is a woman and as per proviso to section 437(ii) CrPC, be
released on bail if she is a woman. On a plain and bare reading of section 437
CrPC, the Applicant/Accused is entitled to bail. The Hon’ble Rajasthan High
Court in the case of Mt. Choksy v. The State AIR 1957 Raj 10 has also held that
granting bail to a woman accused of a non-bailable offence is not discriminatory.
h. The Applicant/Accused is a qualified teacher by profession. She is residing with her
father. Her father is an ex- serviceman and a senior citizen. She is the person who takes
care of her father and three younger sisters. She is a very religious person and law
abiding person belonging to Hindu Community. Her relatives are ready to stand as
sureties for her and vouch for her integrity and standing in society. She shall attend the
Police Station and adhere to any such reasonable condition(s) imposed on her. She shall
neither tamper with the evidence nor she shall intimidate the witnesses and she shall
undertake to comply with any such directions as imposed by this Hon’ble Court.

8. No other bail application is pending in any Court save and except the present bail application.

86 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
PRAYER:-

IT IS MOST RESPECTFULLY PRAYED ON BEHALF OF THE


APPLICANT/ACCUSED THAT:

a. The Applicant/Accused may kindly be enlarged on bail subject to terms and conditions with
the option to furnish Cash bail in lieu of Surety as provided for in section 445 Cr.P.C.
b. Such other order in the interest of justice may be passed so that the ends of Justice shall be met
and served.

AND FOR THIS ACT OF KINDNESS THE APPLICANT/ ACCUSED SHALL EVERY
PRAY.

Anticipatory Bail
*By:- Aritraa Dhar
Of UPES School of Law, Dehradun
Intern at MNF Law Firm

MEANING OF ANTICIPATORY BAIL


Anticipatory Bail is a special kind of bail which is provided in Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. The
term anticipatory bail means to grant bail before the person is arrested. When there is an
apprehension of arrest the person can filed for the anticipatory bail.

WHY THERE IS NEED FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL?


The need for giving Anticipatory Bail emerges basically on the grounds that some of the
time compelling people attempt to ensnare their adversaries in bogus cases for the motivation
behind disfavoring them or for different purposes by getting them kept in prison for certain days.
As of late, with the complement of political competition, this propensity is giving indications of
consistent increment. Separated from bogus cases, where there is sensible reason for holding that
a individual blamed for an offense isn't probably going to flee, or in any case abuse his freedom,
while on bail, there appears to be no legitimization to require him first to submit to guardianship,
stay in jail for certain days and afterward apply for bail. The use of bail mechanism has been
extended further by taking into its fold a comparatively new concept.

88 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

DIRECTION FOR GRANT OF BAIL TO PERSON APPREHENDING


ARREST UNDER SECTION 438 OF Cr.P.C.

(1) Where any person has reason to believe that he may be arrested on accusation of having
committed a non-bailable offence, he may apply to the High Court or the Court of Session for a
direction under this section that in the event of such arrest he shall be released on bail; and that
Court may, after taking into consideration, inter alia, the following factors, namely:-

 the nature and gravity of the accusation;


 the antecedents of the applicant including the fact as to whether he has previously undergone
imprisonment on conviction by a Court in respect of any cognizable offence;
 the possibility of the applicant to flee from justice; and.
 where the accusation has been made with the object of injuring or humiliating the applicant
by having him so arrested, either reject the application forthwith or issue an interim order for
the grant of anticipatory bail:

Provided that, where the High Court or, as the case may be, the Court of Session, has not passed
any interim order under this sub-section or has rejected the application for grant of anticipatory
bail, it shall be open to an officer in-charge of a police station to arrest, without warrant the
applicant on the basis of the accusation apprehended in such application.

(1A) Where the Court grants an interim order under sub-section (1), it shall forthwith cause a
notice being not less than seven days’ notice, together with a copy of such order to be served on
the Public Prosecutor and the Superintendent of Police, with a view to give the Public Prosecutor
a reasonable opportunity of being heard when the application shall be finally heard by the Court,

(1B) The presence of the applicant seeking anticipatory bail shall be obligatory at the time of
final hearing of the application and passing of final order by the Court, if on an application made
to it by the Public Prosecutor, the Court considers such presence necessary in the interest of
justice.

89 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
(2) When the High Court or the Court of Session makes a direction under subsection (1), it may
include such conditions in such directions in the light of the facts of the particular case, as it may
think fit, including-

 a condition that the person shall make himself available for interrogation by a police
officer as and when required;
 a condition that the person shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat
or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from
disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer;
 a condition that the person shall not leave India without the previous permission of the
Court;

such other condition as may be imposed under sub-section (3) of section 437, as if the bail were
granted under that section.

(3) If such person is thereafter arrested without warrant by an officer in charge of a police station
on such accusation, and is prepared either at the time of arrest or at any time while in the custody
of such officer to give bail, he shall be released on bail, and if a Magistrate taking cognizance of
such offence decides that a warrant should issue in the first instance against that person, he shall
issue a bailable warrant in conformity with the direction of the Court under sub-section (1).

WHO CAN APPLY FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL?


A person “apprehending arrest by Magistrate for remanding him to custody under S.209 can
apply for anticipatory bail under Section 438. Where the accused apprehends arrest in view of
the fact that a non-bailable warrant has been issued against him on the basis of charge-sheet filed
against him, he can apply for anticipatory bail.

Public Interest Litigation is not defined in any statutes, but Black Law Dictionary 6th Edition
define Public Interest’ as - Something in which the public, the community at large, has some
pecuniary interest, or some interest by which their legal rights or liabilities are affected. It does
not mean anything so narrow as mere curiosity, or as the interests of the particular localities,
which may be affected by the matters in question.

Interest shared by citizens generally in affairs of local, state or national government...."

In simple language Public interest litigation can be defined as litigation in the interest of the
Public. Entered in judicial process in 1970s .This type of litigation was innovated by judges to
provide "equal access" to the unprivileged section of the society. The idea of PIL actio popularis
of the Roman Jurisprudence which allowed to access to every citizen in matters of public wrong.
In india the first PIL was filed in Mumbai Kamgar Sabha, Bombay vs. M/S Abdulbhai

Honourable Supreme Court ordered release of Under trial prisoners from the Jail.

determination, sentence passed by any Court or tribunal in India except Tribunal constituted
under Armed Forces Law.
Supreme Court can exercise wide and discretionary power under Article 136 by granting
Special Leave to appeal from any Court. In D.C. Mills vs. Commissioner of Income tax
W.B.,AIR 1955 SC 55) the court held that "it being an exceptional and overriding powers it has
to be exercised sparingly and with caution and only in special ordinary situations. Beyond that it
is not possible to fetter the exercise of this power by any set of formula or rule".

Appeal by Special Leave can also be granted in Criminal Cases too In Haripada Dey vs. State of
West Bengal (AIR 1956 SC 757) , the Supreme Court held that it will grant special leave only if
there has been gross miscarriage of justice or departure from legal procedure, such as, which
vitiates the whole trial or if the finding of fact were such as shocking to the judicial conscience of
the Court.

MODULE- XVII

First Appeal under Code of Civil Procedure, 1908


*By:- Himanshu Choudhury
Of Amity Law School, Noida
Intern at MNF Law Firm

MEANING OF APPEAL

The term ‘appeal’ nowhere has been defined under the CPC. The Black’s Law Dictionary, while
construing the concept of ‘appeal’ in its most original and natural sense, explains it as “the
complaint to a superior court for an injustice done or error committed by an inferior one, whose
judgment or decision the Court above is called upon to correct or reverse. It is the removal of a
cause from a Court of inferior jurisdiction to one of superior jurisdiction, for the purpose of
obtaining a review and retrial”.

RIGHT TO APPEAL

The right to appeal is a statutory & substantive one. The statutory nature of an appeal implies
that it has to be specifically conferred by a statute along with the operative appellate machinery
as opposed to the right to institute a suit, which is an inherent right. It is substantive in the sense
that it has to be taken prospectively unless provided otherwise by any statute. This right could be
waived off via an agreement, and if a party accepts the benefits under a decree, it can be
estopped from challenging its legality. However, an appeal accrues to the law as found on the
date of the institution of the original suit.

146 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

ONE RIGHT TO APPEAL

Section 96 of the CPC provides that an aggrieved party to any decree, which was passed by a
Court while exercising its original jurisdiction, is conferred with at least one right to appeal to a
higher authority designated for this purpose, unless the provisions of any statute make an
exception for it. Section 97, 98 and 102 of the CPC enumerate certain conditions under which no
further appeal is permitted, hence attributing to a single right of appeal.

FIRST APPEAL

Section 96 of the CPC provides that an appeal shall lie from a decree passed by any Court
exercising original jurisdiction to the authorized appellate Courts, except where expressly
prohibited. A combined reading of Sections 2(2), 2(9), & 96 of the CPC indicates that a regular
First appeal may/may not be maintainable against certain adjudications.

SECOND APPEAL

Section 100 provides for a second appeal under this code. It states that an appeal shall lie to the
High Court from a decree passed in the first appeal by a subordinate Court, excepting the
provisions speaking to the contrary.

WHO MAY APPEAL?

A regular first appeal may be preferred by one of the following:

 Any party to the suit adversely affected by a decree, or if such party is dead, by his legal
representatives under Section 146;

147 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020
 A transferee of the interest of such party, who so far as such interest is concerned, is
bound by the decree, provided his name is entered on the record of the suit;
 An auction purchaser may appeal against an order in execution setting aside the sale on
the ground of fraud;
 No other person, unless he is a party to the suit, is entitled to appeal under Section 96.
 A person, who is not a party to the suit, may prefer an appeal from a decree/order if he’s
bound/aggrieved/prejudicially affected by it via special leave of the appellate Court.

WHO CANNOT APPEAL?

A party who waives his/her right to prefer an appeal against a judgment cannot file it at a later
stage. Further, as inferred from Scrutton L.J.’s words:

“It startles me that a person can say the judgment is wrong and at the same time accept the
payment under the judgment as being right….In my opinion, you cannot take the benefit of
judgment as being good and then appeal against it as being bad”,

If a party ratifies any decision of the Court by accepting and acknowledging the provisions under
it, it may be estopped from appealing that judgment in a higher forum.

THE APPEAL AGAINST EX PARTE DECREE

In the first appeal under Section 96(2), the defendant on the merits of the suit can contend that
the materials brought on record by the plaintiff were insufficient for passing a decree in his
favour or that the suit was not otherwise maintainable. Alternatively, an application may be
presented to set aside such ex parte decree (it is a decree passed against a defendant in absentia).
Both of these remedies are concurrent in nature. Moreover, in an appeal against an ex parte
decree, the appellate court is competent to go into the question of the propriety or otherwise of
the ex parte decree passed by the trial court.

148 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

NO APPEAL AGAINST CONSENT DECREE

Section 96(3), based on the broad principle of estoppel, declares that no decree passed by the
consent of the parties shall be appealable. However, an appeal lies against a consent decree
where the ground of attack is that the consent decree is unlawful being in contravention of a
statute or that the council had no authority.

NO APPEAL IN PETTY CASES

Section 96(4) bars appeals except on points of law in cases where the value of the subject-matter
of the original suit does not exceed Rs. 10,000, as cognizable by the Court of Small Causes. The
underlying objective of this provision is to reduce the number of appeals in petty cases.

THE APPEAL AGAINST A DEAD PERSON

A person who has unknowingly filed an appeal against a person who was dead at the time of its
presentation shall have a remedy of filing an appeal afresh against the legal heirs of such
deceased in compliance of the Limitation Act.

1. Forms of appeal
2. Appeals may be broadly classified into two kinds:
3. First appeal; and
4. Second appeal.
5. The sub-categories under appeals are:
6. Appeal from original decree;
7. Appeal from order;
8. Appeal from appellate decree/second appeal/to High Court;
9. Appeal to the Supreme Court.

149 | P a g e
MNF LAW FIRM SMART NOTES 2020

FORUM OF APPEAL

It is the amount/value of the subject-matter of the suit which determines the forum in which the
suit is to be filed, and the forum of appeal. The first appeal lies to the District Court if the value
of the subject matter of the suit is below Rs. 2,00,000; and to the High Court in all other cases.

DUTIES OF AN APPELLATE COURT

The appellate Court has a duty to analyze the factual position in the background of principles of
law involved and then decide the appeal.

 To provide cogent reasons for setting aside a judgment of an inferior Court.


 To delve into the question of limitation under Section 3(1) of the Limitation Act.
 To decide the appeal in compliance with the scope & powers conferred on it under
Section 96 r/w O.XLI, R.31 of the CPC.

Section 100A expressly bars a Letters Patent Appeal from an order of a learned Single Judge of
the High Court, on/after 01/07/2002, in an appeal arising from an original/appellate decree. The
bar is absolute & applies to all such appellate orders.
