1. if they prefer any appeal in higher court you will get notice of appeal through post only at the address mentioned in the suit.

2.Yes, it is right.

3.You can inform the court about the change of address. If cavet is filed then notice would issued to advocate's office only.However do note that Caveat can not be filed in criminal case.Only in civil case it is filed.

4.It can be issued in both addresss.

5.No, you can not unless your present address is informed to the court through proper procedure.

1) you have to inform appellant of your change in address request him to serve court proceedings at your changed address

2)aadhar card can be used as address proof in complaint

3)if caveat is filed then lawyer would get notice

4) summons can be sent to you by post

1. The appellant will mention only that address which is within his knowledge.

2. Aadhar card can surely be used.

3. If the correct address of the respondent is not known to the appellant then he can mention the last known address, whereupon the court may order newspaper publication of the summons. If the respondent does not appear to contest the appeal even after newspaper publication then the court can proceed ex parte.

4. Filing of caveat does not imply that summons are not to be sent. On the contrary, it obligates the court to issue summons before passing any ex parte adverse order. However, if the address of the the respondent is not known the court will order newspaper publication.

1) summons would be sent at address mentioned by complainant in the complaint

2)he can choose address as per his knowledge

Once both addresses are mentioned then the party is bound to send summons in both addresses. However if you have replaced the old address with new address then on the new address only the summons will be served.

First of all you should understand the fact that the criminal complaint cannot be filed before the court directly without approaching the local police.

If the local police is not effective or not responding or not cooperating then after exhausting the remedies in the local, you may aproach court with a petition under section 156(3) cr.p.c. In that also it will depend on what address you furnish in the complaint.

The police after investigating the matter the police may file the case before the jurisdictional court.

After that the case will run for years and once the accursed is convicted, then he may decide about preferring an appeal against the judgment. All these will take years.

Once he prefers an appeal, then the high court will send notice to the respondent police through local police and the defacto complainant by post.

Therefore your worries at this stage is baseless and also if you do not want to give the current address, nothing prevents you from furnishing the permanent address at a later stage too.

As your lawyer suggested, if the case in the trial court is disposed and a judgment is in your favor, then you may file a caveat petition before the concerned court with whatever address you are residing in that stage.

We have been told that whichever addresses we mention in the complaint, the appellant will choose from them only. He can either choose the address mentioned in the aadhar card or my local address. Is this true? Or can he choose any address within his knowledge?

You canot predict what is in the mind of the accused in this regard.

He may choose to mention the address whatever is available before him and it is not necessary that he has choose the address of your choice.

Your worries about a later date situation (may be after years) now itself that too even before lodging a complaint looks unnecessary and may be you will be deviated from the main line because of such petty issues.
