Law Relating to Charges

............................................................................................

Description
This short commentary on "Law relating to Charges" may be of immense help to the Bar and the Bench as well. The Second Edition of this short commentary on the Law relating to Charges is being released after more than a decade. While revising the Book sufficient care had been taken to see that the decisions dealing with different facets of the Topic are arranged and adjusted at the appropriate places. The principles relating to discharge had been well summarised in Vikram Johar v. State of U.P., AIR 2019 SC 2109 = 2019 (14) SCC 207. The
satisfaction of the Court in relation to the existence of constituents of an offence and the facts leading such offence, these are sine qua non for exercise of such jurisdiction in framing a charge held in State through CBI v. Dr. Anup Kumar Srivastava, AIR 2017 SC 3698= 2017 (15) SCC 560. In D. Devaraja v. Owais Sabeer Hussain, AIR 2020 SC 3292 = 2020 (7) SCC 695, the Apex Court dealt with the consideration of llegal
requirement of sanction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. instead of driving accused to apply for discharge under Section 245 Cr.P.C. We thank the publishers for publishing this Book in a very nice fashion. We do invite further suggestions from all quarters for the further improvement of this Book while releasing further future Editions.
