A man accused me of hitting him with a stone, causing injuries and tooth loss. The police registered a case and referred him to a government hospital for examination. The hospital found he sustained the injuries in a drunken state. However, the police officer suppressed this report and filed another report claiming grievous hurt. During the trial, all witnesses turned hostile. The officer who filed the second report admitted he was not authorized to issue medical certificates. Despite submitting the government hospital’s report, the court refused to mark it as evidence or call the doctor. Ultimately, I was convicted for causing hurt. The appellate court reduced my sentence to 6 months. I have a few doubts. Firstly, isn’t the police officer’s suppression of the first medical report and filing a false report a fraud? If so, wouldn’t this make the judgment invalid?

Yes, the police officer’s actions constitute a fraud under Indian law, potentially impacting the judgment’s validity. The suppression of the first report and filing a false report with an unauthorized medical certificate raise serious concerns about the investigation’s integrity and could be grounds for challenging the judgment.

My legal battle under sections 420, 468, and 381 of the IPC has been ongoing since 2010. While all witnesses were examined by May 2014, the investigation officer’s testimony has been delayed for over two years.

The results are expected soon, leaving me worried about joining the government job if selected. What are my options given this pending criminal case?

I’m a Canadian citizen and have been living here for the past 10 years. I lent ₹5 lakh to a friend in Jaipur two years ago. He’s been making promises to repay but hasn’t done so. Last year, when I visited India, I had him sign an agreement and give me a cheque for the amount. My brother deposited the cheque, but it bounced due to insufficient funds. I sent him a legal notice, but he refused to accept it. I want to file a court case against him. Here are my questions: 1. Can I file a case even though he didn’t receive the notice? (I’m certain his address is correct.) 2. How long do I have to file the case? 3. Can someone file the case on my behalf while I’m in Canada, or do I have to be present in court?

What steps can be taken to get the FIR quashed at this stage?
