CIVIL

CPC S.11: Even an erroneous decision on the question of law attracts the provision of res Judicata. AIR 2015, SC 460

A suit is founded upon same cause of action which was foundation of former suit. Earlier suit for possession of entire property based on settlement deed.

Therefore suit for partition not hit by principle of res judicata. AIR 2016 SC 1134

Due Process of Law does not necessarily mean full fledged trial: Due process of law means that nobody ought to be condemned unheard. Due process means an opportunity to the defendant to file pleadings including written statement and documents before the Court of law.

OATHS ACT

Oath to Child witness: The main object of the Oaths Act is to render persons who give false evidence liable to prosecution. The provision of S.5 of the Oaths Act, makes it incumbent that any witness examined by a Court of law in a judicial proceeding may be administered oath or affirmation. But the proviso to that sectio makes an exceptin in case of a child witness under 12 years of age. The administration of oath or affirmation may be dispensed with if the Court which examines such witness is of opinion that though he understands the duty of speaking the truth, he does not understand the nature of an oath or affirmation. Thus, under this provision, administration of an oath or affirmation may be dispensed with when the Court forms an opinion that a child witness does not understand the nature of an oath or affirmation but understands the duty of speaking the truth.-Rameshwar Vs. State of Rajasthan, 1952 Cri.L.J. 547 (Supreme Court)

CRIMINAL PROCEDURE

Constitution Art.20: An accused person has no fundamental right to be tried by any particular Court or procedure. The Protection is only against discrimination. What is prohibited under Art. 20 is only conviction or sentence under an `ex post facto’ law and not the trial thereof. Such trial under a procedure different from what obtained at the time of the commission of the offence or by a Court different from that which had competence at the time cannot `ipso facto’ be held to be unconstitutional. A person accused of the commission of an offence has no fundamental right to trial by a particular Court or by a particular procedure, except in so far as any constitutional objection by way of discrimination or the violating of any other fundamental right may be involved-Rao Shiv Bahadur Singh and another v. The State of Vindhya Pradesh, AIR 1953 SC 394 : 1953 CrLJ 1480

Cr.P.C. S.41: A Warrant of arreast and order of proclamation and process of attachment of properties cannot be passed without complying with Hon’ble Apex Court guidline as well as statutory provisions Ashok Kumar agarwal vs St of Jharkhand (2016) 2 JBCJ 212 HC

Cr.P.C. S. 45: Where there is contradiction between medical evidence or ocular can be crystallized to the effect that though the ocular testimony of the witness has greater evidenciery value vis-a-viz medical evidence, when medical evidence makes the ocular testimony improbable, that becomes a relevant factor in the process of the value of the evidence. However where the medical evidence goes so far that it completely rules out all possible of ocular evidence being true, is may be disbelieved. : Umesh Singh vs State of Bihar Criminal Appeal No. 43 of 2010

Cr.P.C. S. 53 A: The rape survivor are entitled to medical procedures conducted in a manner that respects their right to consent – medical procedure should not be carried out in a manner that constitutes cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and health should be paramount consideration while dealing with gender based valuations- two finger test and its interpretation violates the rights to rape survivors to privacy, physical and mental integrity and dignity; therefore is deprecated. Lillu @ Rajesh & Anr vs State of Haryana Criminal Appeal No. 1226 OF 2011

Cr.P.C. S. 73: In case of Rajesh Pd. Singh vs St of Jharkhand Cr. (M.P.) No. 743 of 2013 Hon’ble Court held that the court in exercise of its power u/s 73 Cr.P.C. cannot issue of warrant only for helping and assisting the prosecution/ police in investigation, rather, shall have to ensure that at least one of the three conditions, i.e. I which, escaped convict, proclaimed offender or a person who is an accused of a non bailable offence, evading arrest; is fulfilled

Cr.P.C. S.125(3): There is no bar to commit a person under S.125(3), Cr.P.C. to commit a person defaulting in payment of maintenance amount to imprisonment and also simultaneously to proceed against his properties, be it movable or immovable for realisation of the maintenance amount -Smt. Kuldip Kaur Vs. Surinder Singh, AIR 1989 SC 232.

Cr. P.C. S. 125 : Wife is herself earning more amount that husband and is herself capable to maintain herself as well as minor son. Held, wife is in position to maintain herself by getting salary of Rs. 50,000/- she is not entitled to get any amount as maintainance from husband. So far minor son is concerned, he is student studying in school. Order of maintenance passed by Lower Court to minor son held justified Nand Kishor Banra vs St of Jharkhand and ors (2016) 4 JBCJ 595 HC

Cr.P.C. Ss.154, 155, 156, 157: Investigation by the police officer who registered the FIR Is not illegal per se: State rep. by Inspector of police, Vigilance and anti-corruption, Tiruchirapalli, Tamilnadu Vs. Jayapaul, AIR 2004 SC 2684

Cr.P.C. S.156(3): Magistrate can direct registration of F.I.R., recommend to the SSP/SP to change the I.O. if necessary: In view of the aforesaid broad consensus amongst the counsel for the various parties, it is not necessary for us to go deeper into the relevant issue of law as to whether the earlier order of this Court dated April 12, 2010 warranted registering of F.I.R. by the police before commencing investigation. But we would like to only indicate in brief the law on this subject expressly stated by this Court in the case of Mohd. Yousuf versus Afaq Jahan (Smt.) and another, (2006) 1 SCC 627 : (AIR 2006 SC 705). This Court explained that registration of an F.I.R. involves only the process of recording the substance of information relating to commission of any cognizable offence in a book kept by the officer incharge of the concerned police station. In paragraph 11 of the aforementioned case, the law was further elucidated by pointing out that to enable the police to start investigation, it is open to the Magistrate to direct the police to register an F.I.R. and even where a Magistrate does not do so in explicit words but directs for investigation under Section 156(3) of the Code, the police should register an F.I.R. because Section 156 falls within Chapter XII of the Code which deals with powers of the police officers to investigate cognizable offences, the police officer concerned would always be in a better position to take further steps contemplated in Chapter XII once F.I.R. is registered in respect of the concerned cognizable offence-Hamant Yashwant Dhage Vs. State of Maharashtra and ors., AIR 2016 SC 814

Cr.P.C. S.157 and 165: When the evidence of the I.O. who recovered the material object is convincing, recovery of material object cannot be rejected on the ground that the seizure witness do not support the prosecution version.-Modan Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan, AIR 1978 SC 1511

Cr.P.C. S. 167 : Remand of an absconding accused in police custody who is arrested only after filing of the charge-sheet may be remanded in police custody and the court taking cognizance may exercise its powers to detain such accused in police custody subject to the limitations of Section 167 of Cr.P.C- 2015(4) JLJR SC 119

Cr.P.C. S.173: Cognizance can be taken on charge-sheet for S.379, IPC in Sand theft matter: Mines and Minerals Act 1957: Though cognizance of offence punishable under section 22, cannot be taken on police report, theft of sand from river bed is theft of government property and hence cognizance of offence punishable under section 379, I.P.C. can be taken on police report. – Jaysukh Bavanji Shingalia Vs. State of Gujarat, AIR 2015 SC 75.

S.3 of the Police Act, 1861 empowered the State Government with superintendence including giving directions to such a superior officer for further investigation under S.173(8), Cr.P.C. even after submission of report by the previous investigating agency under S.173(2). Power under S.173(8) is not affected by Magistrate’s power to order investigation under S.156(3). State of Bihar Vs. J.A.C. Saldhana, (1980) 1 SCC 554

Cr.P.C. S.161 and 162: It is the duty of the prosecutor and the Judge to bracket the inadmissible portion in the panchanama before giving exhibit number to it – State of Gujarat Vs. Kathi Ramku Aligbhai, 1986 Cri.L.J. 239.

Cr.P.C. S.167(2): For the purpose of counting the 15 days, 60 days and 90 days custody, the date of suo motu surrender of the accused, is not material. Because, it is not preceded by arrest without warrant. Hence, it is not equivalent to production under S.167.State of West Bengal Vs. Dinesh Dalmia, (2007) 5 SCC 773.

Cr.P.C. S.167(5) and S.12-AA(1)(f), Essential Commodities Act: Section 167(5), Cr.P.C. is applicable to a summarily triable warrant case. Hence, investigation may be directed to be stopped if not completed in 6 months from arrest of accused. But, the I.O. is not absovled from filing final report on the basis of the investigation done within 6 months and the Court is competent to accept such police report. – State of W.B. Vs. Falguni Dutta, (1993) 3 SCC 288.

Cr.P.C. S.167 and S.309: Police Custody of post-charge sheet arrested accused is permissible: It is permissible to grant police custody of an accused who is arrested subsequest to the charge-sheet when he was shown as absconding previously-Central Bureau of Investigation Vs. Rathin Dandapath and others, 2015 Cri.L.J. 4488

Cr.P.C. S.167 Magistrate has to look into facts before granting remand: The act of directing remand of an accused is fundamentally a judicial function. The Magistrate does not act in executive capacity while ordering the detention of an accused. While exercising this judicial act, it is obligatory on the part of the Magistrate to satisfy himself whether the materials placed before him justify such a remand or, to put it differently, whether there exist reasonable grounds to commit the accused to custody and extend his remand. The purpose of remand as postulated Under Section 167 is that investigation cannot be completed within 24 hours. It enables the Magistrate to see that the remand is really necessary. This requires the investigating agency to send the case diary along with the remand report so that the Magistrate can appreciate the factual scenario and apply his mind whether there is a warrant for police remand or justification for judicial remand or there is no need for any remand at all. It is obligatory on the part of the Magistrate to apply his mind and not to pass an order of remand automatically or in a mechanical manner. It is apt to note that in Madhu Limaye, it has been stated that once it is shown that the arrests made by the police officers were illegal, it was necessary for the State to establish that at the stage of remand, the Magistrate directed detention in jail custody after applying his mind to all relevant matters.-Manubhai Ratilal Patel Tr. Ushaben Vs. State of Gujarat and ors., AIR 2013 SC 313

Cr.P.C. S.167: The Special Judge under S.8 of the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 1952 is a Magistrate for the purpose of S.167. Because, Section 3 of the Code suggests that if the context otherwise required, the term “Magistrate” may include the Magistrate who are not specified in the Section. – State of T.N. Vs. V. Krishnaswami Naidu, (1979) 4 SCC 5

Cr.P.C. S.167: Private Counsel in State Case? No vested right is granted to a complainant or informant or aggrieved party to directly conduct a prosecution. So far as the Magistrate is concerned, cmoparative latitude is given to him but he must always bear in mind that while the prosecution must remain robust and comprehensive and effective it should not abandon the need to be free, fair and diligent. So far as the Sessions Court is conerned, it is the Public Prosecutor who must at all times remain in control of the prosecution and a counsel of a priavate party can only assist the public prosecutor in discharging its responsibility. The complainant or informant or aggrieved party may, however, be heard at a curcial and critical juncture of the Trial so that his interests in the prosecution are not prejudiced or jeopardized. Constant or even frequest interferance in the prosecution should not be encouraged as it will have a deleterious impact on its impartiality. If the Magistrate or Sessions Judge harbours the opinion that the prosecution is likey to fail, prudence would prompt that the complainant or informant or aggrieved party be given an informal hearing-Sundeep Kumar Bafna Vs. State of Maharashtra, AIR 2014 SC 1745.

Cr.P.C. S.167 Magistrate and Judges shall inform accused about free legal aid -Khatri And Others Vs. State of Bihar 1981 SCC (1) 627.

Cr.P.C. S 169: A Magistrate after accepting a negative final report under Cr.P.C., can take action on the basis of the protest petition filed by the complainant JLJR(4)16 SC

Cr.P.C. S. 177 & 178 : At stage of investigation, if cannot be held that SHO does not have territorial jurisdiction to investigate crime-But after the investigation is over, if officer arrives at conclusion that cause of action for lodging Fir has not arisen within his territorial jurisdiction, then he will forward case to Magistrate concerned empowered to take cognizance offence – Terrirorial jurisdictiojn of a court with regard to a criminal offence would be decided on the basis of place of occurrence of incident. Manoj Kumar Sharma and ors vs St of Chattishgarh (2016) 4 JBCJ 236 SC

Cr.P.C. S.179: Magistrate’s Jurisdiction: A Magistrate’s jurisdiction is limited to his territorial jurisdiction. He cannot permit investigation in a case he is not competent to try. A Magistrate does not exercise jurisdiction throughout the length and breadth of India for purposes of Code of Criminal Procedure or of Prevention of Corruption Act. The Code of Criminal Procedure defines the territorial jurisdiction of Magistrates. It will not be a consonance with the jurisdiction and structure of Courts of Magistrates to allow an order of investigation to be made by a Magistrate of Delhi for investigation of a case in the State of Assam. The reason is that a Magistrate orders investigation in a case which he has power to inquire into or try.-Union of India and another v. B.N. Ananthapadmanabhiah, 1971 CrLJ 1287: AIR 1971 SC 1836

Cr.P.C. S.193 Normally Sessions Court is not entitled to take cognizance of the offence under Section 304 B and 498A of the IPC. But when proper opportunity is given to the accused then Sessions Court can take cognizance. AIR 2016 SC 2266
Cr.P.C. S.197 Dropping the proceeding for want of sanction is proper: Question to consider is that if the Court comes at any stage to the conclusion that the prosecution could not have been instituted without the sanction of the Government, what should be the procedure to be followed by it, i.e., whether the Court should discharge the accused or acquit him of the charge if framed against him or just drop the proceedings and pass no formal order of discharge or acquittal as contemplated in the case of a prosecution under the Code. The High Court has said that when the Sessions Judge be satisfied that the facts proved bring the case within the mischief of s. 132 of the Code then he is at liberty to reject the complaint holding that it is barred by that section. We consider this to be the right order to be passed in those circumstances. It is not essential that the Court must pass a formal order discharging or acquitting the accused. In fact no such order can be passed. If s. 132 applies, the complaint could not have been instituted without the sanction of the Government and the proceedings on a complaint so instituted would be void the Court having no jurisdiction to take those proceedings. When the proceedings be void, the Court is not competent to pass any order except an order that the proceedings be dropped and the complaint is rejected. Nagraj Vs. State of Mysore, AIR 1964 SC 269

Shiv Bachan Singh Vs St of Jharkhand and ors. W.P. (Cr.) No. 186 of 2010 Hon’ble Court observed that the protection is given to the public servant against institution of possibly vexatious criminal proceeding for offfences alleged to have been committed by them while they are acting are purporting to act as a public servant. The policy of the legislature is to afford adequate protection to public servant to ensure that they shall not be prosecuted for anything done by them in the discharge of their duty without reasonable cause but then such protection has to be considered within certain limits. It should be available only when the alleged at done by the public servant is reasonably connected with the discharge of these official duties and is not merely a cloak for doing the objectional act. If in doing his official duty, he acted in excess of his duty, which constitutes offence, the excess bill not be considered to protect him from criminal prosecution.

Cr.P.C. S.309: Day-to-day Trials: In some states a system is evolved for framing a schedule of consecutive working days for examination of witnesses in each sessions trial to be followed. Such schedule is fixed by the Court well in advance after ascertaining the convenience of the counsel on both sides. Summons or process would then be handed over to the Public Prosecutor incharge of the case to cause them to be served on the witnesses. Once the schedule is so fixed and witnesses are summoned the trial invariably proceeds from day today. This is one method of complying with the mandates of the law. It is for the presiding officer of each court to chalk out any other methods, if any found better, for complying with the legal provisions contained in Section 309 of the Code -State of U.P. Vs.

Upholding allowing the application, held that the conventional concept is that the court should not do so. But, then, what is meant by lacuna in a prosecution case, has to be understood before deciding the said question one way or the other. Lacuna in the prosecution must be understood as the inherent weakness or a latent wedge in the matrix of the prosecution case. No party in a trial can be foreclosed from correcting errors. – Rajendra Prasad Vs. The Narcotic Cell, AIR 1999 SC 2292.

Cr.P.C. S.344: Object of enactment of S.344 is that evil of perjury and fabrication of evidence has to be eradicated. At the time of delivery of judgment or final order, the Court must at the first instance express an opinion to the effect that the witness before it has either intentionally given false evidence or fabricated such evidence.

Each erring officer must suffer the consequences of his lapse, by appropriate departmental action, whenever called for. – State of Gujarat Vs. Kishanbhai etc., (2014) 5 SCC 108.

Cr.P.C. S.357(3): Order under this section must have potentiality to secure its observance. If merely an order directing compnesation is passed, it would be totally ineffective. Deterrence can only be infused into the order by providing for a default sentence. Hence, the order to pay compensation to be paid by the convict may be enforeced by awarding sentence of imprisonment in default. -R. Mohan Vs. A.K. Vijaya Kumar, 2012(8) SCC 721.
In. R. Vijayan v. Baby, 2000 (1) SCC 260 the court observed that: “it is evident from the sub-section (3) of section 357 of the Code, that where the sentence imposed does not include a fine, that is, where the sentence relates to only imprisonment, the court, when passing judgment, can direct the accused to pay by way of compensation, such amount as may be specified in the order to the person who has suffered any loss or injury by reason of the act for which the accused has been so sentenced. The reason for this is obvious. Sub-section (1) of section 357 provides that court imposes a sentence of fine or a sentence of which fine forms a part, the court may direct the fine amount to be applied in the payment to any person of compensation for any loss or injury caused by the offence, when compensation is, in the opinion of the court, recoverable by such person in a Civil Court. Thus, if compensation could be paid from out of the fine, there is no need to award separate compensation. Only where the sentence does not include fine but only imprisonment and court finds that the person who has suffered any loss or injury by reason of the act of the accused person, requires to be compensated, it is permitted to award compensation under section 357 (3).”

Dhanu Ram Soren @ Bali Ram Soren Vs. State of Jharkhand Cr. Appeal (D.B.)

In future, as and when application is received claiming compensation/benefits of the Scheme, the State is directed to ensure that the application be considered and disposed of within a period of six months from the date of its receipt by the respective District Magistrate/Deputy Commissioner/District Committee.

Cr.P.C. S.357 & 357A: Just compensation to the victim has to be fixed having regard to medical and other expenses, pain and suffering, loss of earning and other relevant factors.While punishment to accused is one aspect, determination of just compensation to the victim is the other. At times, evidence is not available in this regard. Some guess work in such a situation is inevitable. Compensation under S.357, Cr.P.C. is payable by convict. Section 357A, Cr.P.C. has to be invoked to make up the requirement of just compensation.-Monohar Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan, AIR 2015 SC 1124

Cr.P.C. S.357 & 357A: It is the duty of the court to award just sentence. Mechanical reduction of sentence to the period already undergone cannot be appreciated. Sentence has to be fair not only to the accused but also to the victim and the society. Accused was ordered to pay compensation of Rs.2 Lakhs under S.357(3) and the State to pay compensation of Rs.3 Lakhs and if the accused does not pay, the State was directed to pay the entire amount of Rs.5 Lakhs.-State of M.P. Vs. Mehtab, 2015(5) SCC 197

Victim subsequently died due to mental insanity and shock. The Hon’ble Court highlighting certain procedure irregularities committed by the trial Court partly affirmed the sentence imposed by it. It was ruled that the victim of crime or his kith and kin have legitimate expectation that the state will punish the guilty and compensate the victim. Hon’ble Court invoking section 357 A of the Cr.P.C. directed the State Government to pay compensation to the Mother of the deceased to the tune of Rs. 5,00,000/-. Jharkhand State legal Service Authority was asked to look into this matter and provide timely assistance to the mother of the deceased.

Cr.P.C. S.427:Totality of the Sentence has to be considered: The basic rule of thumb over the years has been the so called single transaction rule for concurrent sentences.

In Kishan Tripathi @Kishan Painter vs State 2016 SCC online Delhi 1136 Delhi High Court discussed the law relating to admissibility of CCTV. Footage and observed that the CCTV footage is captured by the Camera and can be stored in the computer where the files are created with serial no., date, time and identification marks these identification marks/details are self generated and recorded as a result of pre exiting software commands the capture of visual images on the hard disk is automatic in the sense that the video images get stored and recorded suo-moto when the CCTV camera is on and is properly connected with the Hard Disc installed in the computer therefore the original hard disc could be the primary and direct evidence when we see the CCTV footage we are in the same position as that of the witness, who had seen the occurrence though crime had not occurred at that time when the recording, but earlier this Video recording which capture the occurrence would be per se and mostly discernringly reliable and compellingly conclusive evidence, unless its authenticity is in question.

JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT

Om Prakash vs State of Rajasthan and ors. (2012) 5 SCC 201 Hon’ble Court held that the court must be sensitive in dealing with the Juvenile who is involved in cases of serious nature like Sexual Molestation Rape, Gang rape , Murder and host of other offences, that is cannot be allowed to abuse the statutory protection by attempting to prove himself as a minor when the documentary evidence to prove his minority gives rise to a reasonable doubt about his assertion of minority. Under such circumstance, the medical evidence based on scientific investigation will have to be given due with and precedence over the evidence based on school administration records which give rise to hypothesis and speculation about the age of the accused the matter however would stand on a different footing in the academic certificates and school records are alleged to have been with held deliberately with ulterior motive and authenticity of the medical evidence is under challenge by the prosecution.

EVIDENCE ACT – CRIMINAL

Evi Act S.3: Interested Witness: A witness may be called “Interested” only when he or she derives some benefit from the result of litigation in the decree in a civil case, or in seeing an accused person punished. A witness is a natural and is the only possible eye witness in the circumstances of a case cannot be said to be interested. A relation of a victim may be a natural witness – State of Rajastan Vs. Smt. Kalki and another, AIR 1981 SC 1390

Evi Act S.3 Enmity: The witnesses were inimical to the accused, but that by itself was not a sufficient ground for rejecting their testimony – Raman Kalia Vs. State of Gujarat, AIR 1979 SC 1261.

Evi Act S.3 -Discrepancies in oral evidence: Discrepancies which do not go to the root of the matter and shake the basic version of the witnesses cannot be annexed with undue importance. More so when the all important “probabilities-factor” echoes in favour of the version narrated by the witnesses. The reasons are given in – Bharwada Bhoginbhai Hirjibhai Vs. State of Gujarat, AIR 1983 SC 753

Evi Act S.27: Accused need not be in formal arrest when he gave the information- Vikram Singh and others Vs. State of Punjab, (2010) 3 SCC 56.

Evi Act S.27 and S.162(2), Cr.P.C. (A) It is fallacious impression that when recovery is effected under S.27, Evidence Act, the document prepared by the I.O., contemporaneous with such recovery, must be attested by independent witness. Of course, if any such statement leads to recovery of any article, it is open to the investigating officer to take the signature of any person present at that time, on the recovery document. (B) It is not a legally approvable procedure to presume the police action as unreliable to start with, or to jettison such action merely for the reason that police did not collect signature of independent persons in the documents made contemporaneous with such actions – State, Govt. of NCT of Delhi Vs. Sunil and another, (2001) 1 SCC 652

Evi. Act S.3: Police credibility: The presumption that a person acts honestly applies as much in favour of a police officer as in other persons and it is not a judicial approach to distrust or suspect him without good ground thereof. Such an attitude could do neither credit to Magistrate not to the public. It can only run down prestige of public administration -Ahir Raja khima Vs. State of Saurashtra, AIR 1956 SC 217.

Evi. Act S.3 and 114: Non-examination of the I.O. per se is not fatal: Investigating officer was not examined.

State of Bihar, AIR 1996 SC 2911

Evi Act S.27: Investigating Officer need not take signature of accused on seizure memo: The investigating officer has no obligation to obtain signatures of accused but obtaining such signatures is also not illegal. The resultant position is that the Investigating Officer is not obliged to obtain the signature of an accused in any statement attributed to him while preparing seizure memo for the recovery of any article covered by Section 27 of the Evidence Act. But, if any signature has been obtained by an Investigating Officer, there is nothing wrong or illegal about it. -State of Rajasthan v. Teja Ram and others, 1999 CrLJ 2588

Evi Act S. 45: Rabi Kumar vs Duryodhan Gope Cr. Appeal (D.B.) No. 88 of 2015 In a case of Gangrape , solitary evidence of the prosecutrix cannot result in conviction of the accused persons unless the same is corroborated with medical evidence. There was no evidence available on record with regard the medical examination of the accused person far ascertaining whether they were capable of performing sexual intercourse. The Doctor who examined the accused for that purpose did not step in the witness box and his name did not feature in the list of witnesses. This aspect cannot be ignored well the accused persons are facing such a serious charge.

Evi. Act S.165 and 137: Witness in a bit of confusion during his cross-examination – Not improper for trial Court to put questions during his cross-examination to elicit truth: A judge is expected to actively participate in the trial, elicit necessary materials from witnesses at the appropriate context which he feels necessary for reaching the correct conclusion. There is nothing which inhibits his power to put questions to the witnesses, either during Chief examination or cross-examination or even during re-examination to elicit truth. The corollary of it is that if a judge felt that a witness has committed an error or a slip it is the duty of the judge to ascertain whether it was so for to err is human and the chances of erring may accelerate under stress of nervousness during cross-examination. Criminal justice is not to be founded on erroneous answers spelled out by witnesses during evidence collecting process. It is a useful exercise for trial judge to remain active and alert so that errors can be minimised.- State of Rajasthan Vs. Ani alias Hanif and Ors, AIR 1997 SC 1023

Hindu widow is not a coparcener in HUF of her husband and cannot act as a karta of HUF after death of her husband. When shows male coparcener is a minor HUF does not come to an end.

Tulshi Singh and Ors vs St of Jharkhand Cr. M.P. No. 612 of 2009 St of Gujrat vs Kishan Bhai (2014) 5 SCC 108 the Apex Court opined that ‘On the culmination of a criminal case in acquittal, the4 concerned investigating/prosecuting official(s) responsible for such acquittal must necessarily be identified. A finding needs to be recorded in each case, whether the lapse was innocent or blameworthy. Each erring officer must suffer the consequences of his lapse, by appropriate departmental action, whenever called for. Taking into consideration the seriousness of the matter, the concerned official may be withdrawn from investigative responsibilities, permanently or temporarily, depending purely on his culpability. We also feel compelled to require the adoption of some indispensable measures, which may reduce the malady suffered by parties on both sides of criminal litigation. Accordingly we direct the Home Department of every State to formulate a procedure for taking action against all erring investigating/prosecuting officials/officers. All such erring officials/officers identified, as responsible for failure of a prosecution case, on account of sheer negligence or because of culpable lapses, must suffer departmental action. The above mechanism formulated would infuse seriousness in the performance of investigating and prosecuting duties, and would ensure that investigation and prosecution are purposeful and decisive.
