• False stand in High Court supported by Advocate

Sirs/Mam

Wife filed DV case in Indore against Husband and his Parents where shared house is situated and on same day Petitioners opened Locks of Rental Flat at Bhopal and took belongings of Wife and vacated Rental Flat and ran away 

Before that Petitioners had changed locks of shared House, too 

Magistrate granted ex party Order and directed Petitioners to allow Wife to enter in shared House and return stridhan to Wife 

Wife went to shared House but Locks were changed and she also put locks on house so that petitioners cannot again ran away with her stridhan lying therein 

Husband and Perents filed application in Dec 2016 u/s. 482 of CR PC to quash exparty Order 

In January 2017 Wife filed Reply in HIGH COURT and gave declaration as under :- 

“she was ever ready to give keys of House with prayers that house must be opened in her presence so that Petitioners cannot run away with her stridhan as they did in past and she can also take out her stridhan lying thererin.

The Reply was personally received by Advocate XYZ 

After 6 Months Petiitoners filed 2 more Applications u/s. 482 of Cr PC before H.Court 

Following Order was passed by H.Court in October 2017 

This is third attempt of petitioners but this time they have backing of advocate XYZ 

Urgency of the petitioners is that respondent had put lock on shared house and did not allow them to enter in house. Medicines of petitioner No.3 Mr ABC who is suffering from various ailments are locked in the house and they are under serious threat of being arrested in compliance of the ex party order 

Though twice their prayer of granting stay is not acceded by this Court but this time it is backed by their counsel.

Considering the aforesaid situation and nature of dispute, this time I allow prayer with restrictions that “No coercive action shall be taken against the petitioners till further order of this Court. 

And all appeals were disposed and sent to Session Court wherein appeal filed by Petitioners against same order is pending and directed session court to dispose matter in 4 Months

sd/-
Judge


Then Petitioners went to Police Station in Dec 2017 and requested Police and Wife also handed over key to Police with request to open house in her presence But Police refused to take key from her and said that there is no Court direction as such

Then Wife approached the Magistrate with an application when Petiitoner No. 3 was present in that Court and Wife made an written Application to hand over keys with above requests 

But Advocate of Petitioner refused to reply the application on technical ground that file of complaint is lying in session court 

Observations :- 

Petitioner took wrong stand (backed by Advocate XYZ) that since 18 months Medicines are locked in shared House and on that basis he got favourable Order

Hello,

Against the order of the HC under section 482, the only remedy is to approach the HC.

the 482 is an extra ordinary remedy and no review lies for the same in the HC.

However, you can move an application for recall of the order on the ground that the order has been obtained by fraud,

If you are aggrieved by the order passed by the High Court and wish to restore the position which was prevalent before passing of the said order, challenge the said order before a larger Bench in the High Court, or apply for it's review.

Wait for sessions court to dispose of application within period of 4 months

Police cannot assist wife in doing so unless the Magistrate directs the Officer in Charge to accompany the wife and get her stridhan back.

Unless and until in the line of hogh court apsses such dorecvtion there would be limbo on the whole situation.

Hence file a fresh application for compliance of the order of high court. State all the urgency as you are facing.

1. After the High Court order directing not to take any coercive action against the Petitioner which you have not done after the said order was passed by the by High Court.

2. You have already filed an application before the trial court expressing your willingness to handover the keys of the lock to the Petitioner which they have not yet taken.

3. File another application before the Magistrate praying for directing the Petitioner to arrive at the said house on a particular day at a particular time for opening his lock when the wife also will open her lock, for taking out the required medicine and also when the wife will take out her articles, in presence of local police.

Orders are recalled under sec 151 of the CPC and there happens to be no specific section in relation to the same

The judiciary in India also possesses inherent power, specially under Section 151 C.P.C., to recall its judgment or order if it is obtained by Fraud on Court. In the case of fraud on a party to the suit or proceedings, the Court may direct the affected party to file a separate suit for setting aside the Decree obtained by fraud. Inherent powers are powers which are resident in all courts, especially of superior jurisdiction. These powers spring not from legislation but from the nature and the Constitution of the Tribunals or Courts themselves so as to enable them to maintain their dignity, secure obedience to its process and rules, protect its officers from indignity and wrong and to punish unseemly behaviour. This power is necessary for the orderly administration of the Court's business".

1.Wife can file a Review Petition within the limitation period of 30 days.

2. If the limitation period is over, then a condonation of delay petition shall have to be filed separately giving appropriate ground for late filing the review petition.

3. Engage an experienced and reliable lawyer practicing at High court having expertise in this field to file the said review petition.

1. The manner in which you have attacked the lawyer repeatedly in your query cannot be approved by any lawyer. It will be profitable for you to know that a lawyer is engaged only when the client signs the vakalatnama in his favour which contains a specific provision " AND I/We hereby agree to ratify and confirm all acts done by the advocate or his associate(s) or his substitute(s) in the above case and/or in the above court/premises as my/our own acts, as if done by me/us to intents and purposes". There is no liability on the lawyer, it is the litigant who performs the acts.

2. If the wife has evidence to prove that the order was obtained by playing fraud then she can file a miscellaneous application in the High Court in the already decided 482 CrPC petition.

Under section 482 of cr pc high Court has inherent powers to prevent abuse of powers of court or to secure ends of justice

2) Under section 191 of IPC, an affidavit is evidence and a person swearing to a false affidavit is guilty of perjury punishable under Section 193 IPC which prescribes the period of punishment as seven years imprisonment. However, action against making a false statement should be initiated during the trial itself, and not at the end of it which may take a long time

2) (2004)7 SCC 166 para 13

“As a general rule, suppression of a material fact by a litigant disqualifies such litigant from obtaining any relief. This rule has been evolved out of the need of the Courts to deter a litigant from abusing the process of Court by deceiving it. But the suppressed fact must be a material one in the sense that had it not been suppressed it would have had an effect on the merits of the case…”

1. For filing an application for review of the order passed by the High Court, you won't have to cite any section of Cr.P.C.

2. You can file the said Review Petition under Supreme Court Rules, 1966.

3. However, as it is understood that the said stay order was passed by the High Court being backed by your Counsel, it will be difficult for you to retract from your earlier position now since your lawyer's step taken in the Court is binding on you.

4. You are required to consult a fresh lawyer for deciding on the ground based on which you shall file the said Review Petition.

1) Whether CPC 151 is applicable to recall order u/s. 482 of CR PC

No. This is civil and this criminal law.

(2) Whether the above stated acts /statements of the Husband and his Parents do not come in the purview of sec 191 and 193 of I.P.C. for stating false during Judicial Proceedings

First you establish that they are false and then you can plan to file a petition under the referred sections.

(3) Further under which provisions / sections of CRPC Miscelleneous Application can be filed in the already decided 482 Cr PC Petition as advised by Shri Aashish ji

If a petition under section 482 has been disposed and if you are aggrieved then you may have to prefer an appeal against the decision

1. It can be inferred that the said provisions of law can be invoked under the said circumstances.

2. If the Magistrate, on receipt of an application from the aggrieved person or the respondent, is satisfied that there is a change in the circumstances requiring alteration, modification or revocation of any order made under this Act, he may, for reasons to be recorded in writing pass such order, as he may deem appropriate.

1. To my mind there is no material change of circumstances as contained in sec 25(2) of DV Act.

2. Magistrate can of course alter his order as per the provision of the Act if he is convinced that there is a change in the circumstances. It shall depend solely on how the Advocate of the Respondent can posh through his points while submitting his arguments and how the same is countered by your Advocate.
