Alok - Are these counter cases consedered as private complaint, which require the presenece of the complainant on all hearings, failing which the case will be dismissed ?
I know Civil defamation does not require the presence of complainant. Do all other cases require the presence of complainant or his lawyer ?
Thanks, Dev.

Any criminal case require presence of complainant to bring FIR on record in court.These are criminal cases under IPC except civil defamation and damages under CPC 9.

Dear all , My parents have been acquitted of 498A but the girl has filed an appeal against their acquittal which will take 6 more months to be decided. The judgement of the trial court simply says that no charges are made out against the accused parents u/ 498a so they are acquitted, the judgement specifically doesn't mention that the girl has filed a false case against her parent-in-laws. My lawyer is telling that a defamation case cannot be filed as there is nothing mentioned in the judgement regarding filling a false case by the girl.
But we still want to file a defamation or any other counter case. Can we file a defamation case at this time when the appeal of the girl against the order of acquittal is pending to be decided in session court ? I came to know that we can file defamation within the six months of the order of acquittal. From which date the six months shall start in case of the girl has filed an appeal in session court against the order of acquittal.
Kindly advise.

From the date of judgement by trial court.Her appeal does not affect filing of counter cases.my advise for you is to concentrate on appeal case first.filing counter cases will dampen the high spirit of opposite party but emphasis must be on more on appeal case.
How much time did it take for aquittal?

presence of complainant is required for giving statement before the judge/magistrate after the framing of charges in criminal case and also for cross examination.POW can not be cross examined.

Can I safely assume that, COmplainant can be made in absence of complainant, But charges will be framed only in presence of complainant. So such a complainant get time till framing of charges (say 6 months)toappear and keep case alive ?

1 Years is the time limit for Defamation/ Malicious Prosecution. For Defamation: 1 year from when the last time slander was done. For Malicious Prosecution: 1 year from the date of acquittal/ discharge. Regards, Shonee Kapoor harassed.by.498a@gmail.com

Sorry to pick your brains again.
1. When we say "Malicious Prosecution". Does this go against the Public Prosecution team (with the police roped-in) for registering a false complaint and conducting the trail of such a complaint inspite of lack of credible evidence ?
2. Does the Judge have to grant an order stating that this was a "false case" filed to acheive personal gains or does it qualify for Malicious Prosecution even if the Judge grants an acquittal since the charges were not proved beyond reasonable doubt (with a few contradicting witness stmts) ?
End of the day, can the Public Prosecutor be held accountable and fired/barred from legal practice ?
Thanks, Dev.

Judge grants an acquittal since the charges were not proved beyond reasonable doubt (even if complainant itself accepts that he has filed a case in anger ( in 498a & 304b case) ?
Can any case be filed against complainant for false case? Can the false complainant will be prosecuted(in false 304b case)?
What is the bare minimum punishment for false complainant for defamation case?
Please suggest.
thanks Sachin

@Shoneek, 1. Does slander mean "FIR" for putting defamation case or is it date of acquittal? Is 1 year for civil defamation or for criminal defamation? 2. Is malicious prosecution also involves IO as respondent or can it be put only against complainant? Kindly advise.
