Trial Court on the two major heads of income i.e. pay and agricultural earnings, the learned Trial Court not only of its own embarked on an inquiry to ascertain and compute the figures, it wholly resorted to inferences in calculating the pay for the periods omitted by the prosecution as well as in fixing 60% expenditure from pay towards household needs.

 It is not in dispute that merely giving help will not make the abetment of offence if the person who gave the help did not know that an offence was being committed or contemplated. The intention should be to help an offence or to facilitate the commission of crime. There is prima facie evidence on record for offence under Section 120-B of IPC of the meeting of minds for acceptance of money between Mahavir Prasad/husband and his wife/petitioner.  In the present Full Judgment

Appeal (Crl.), 1336 of 2017, Judgment Date: Aug 04, 2017

Framing of charge is the first major step in a criminal trial where the court is expected to apply its mind to the entire record and documents placed therewith before the court. Taking cognizance of an offence has been stated to necessitate an application of mind by the court but framing of charge is a major event where the court considers the possibility of discharging the accused of the offence with which he is charged or requiring the accused to face trial. There are different categories Full Judgment

NEERA YADAV Versus CENTRAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATON

Appeal (Crl.), 253 of 2017, Judgment Date: Aug 02, 2017

A perusal of the above provision makes it clear that if the elements of any of the three sub-clauses are met, the same would be sufficient to constitute an offence of ‘criminal misconduct’ under Section 13(1)(d). Undoubtedly, all the three wings of clause (d) of Section 13(1) are independent, alternative and disjunctive. Thus, under Section 13(1)(d)(i) obtaining any valuable thing or pecuniary advantage by corrupt or illegal means by a public servant in itself would amount to criminal misconduct. On Full Judgment

It is, therefore, plain that meeting of minds of two or more persons for doing or causing to be done an illegal act or an act by illegal means Full Judgment

Appeal (Crl.), 1261-1262 of 2017, Judgment Date: Aug 01, 2017

While the bar against cognizance of a specified offence is mandatory, the same has to be understood in the context of the purpose for which such a bar is created. The bar is not intended to take away remedy against a crime but only to protect an innocent person against false or frivolous proceedings by a private person. The expression “the public servant or his administrative superior” cannot exclude the High Court. It is clearly implicit in the direction of Full Judgment

From the ratio laid down in the above judgment, it is clear that the main determinative factor for deciding the place of offence is the place where the offence has actually taken place. It is also observed in the said judgment that when it is certain where exactly the offence under Section 13 of the PC Act is committed, it is an unnecessary exercise to ponder over the other areas wherein certain allied activities such as conspiracy or preparation had Full Judgment

The short question of law for consideration is, if the offences essentially constitute a single transaction, but have been split up by the prosecution into three separate cases, will the sentences imposed individually, run concurrently or consecutively? Suffice it to observe that in the facts of the case, the exercise of discretion under Section 427(1) Code of Criminal Procedure, mandates that the substantive sentences imposed upon the appellant in the three separate prosecutions, are directed to run concurrently,except the default Full Judgment
