2007 SC DIGEST - APRIL -1

Apex court has held that by way of amendment, admission made in pleadings and particularly in the plaint cannot be sought to be omitted or got rid of. The Court further observed that a prayer for amendment of the plaint stand on different footing. The relevant observations of the Court are set out as under: "19. ..a prayer for amendment of the plaint and a prayer for amendment of the written statement stand on different footings. The general principle that amendment of pleadings cannot be allowed so as to alter materially or substitute cause of action or the nature of claim applies to amendments to plaint. It has no counterpart in the principles relating to amendment of the written statement. Therefore, addition of a new ground of defence or substituting or altering a defence or taking inconsistent pleas in the written statement would not be objectionable while adding, altering or substituting a new cause of action in the plaint may be objectionable.

 prior sanction under Section 19 of the PC Act and 197 of CrPC that are respectively lacking, the proceedings are unsustainable and are liable to be quashed, petitions are allowed by quashing the impugned cognizance orders for the following: (a). the trial judge has no power to review the previous dismissal or closed order in view of specific bar under Section 362 CrPC and thereby the order of the learned Special Judge on 28.12.2015 in suo-motto reopening the matter, for not a mere correction of any clerical or arithmetical or typographic mistake so to do even if at all only on an application, for it has no inherent powers saved under Section 482 CrPC as held by the Division Bench of this court in a maintenance case restored of dismissed in C.

2017 - AP HIGH COURT DIGEST - JUNE 5 Whether the investigating officer can grant station bail to accused while dealing with him under Sec.41-A Cr.P.C when the offence is a special Act offence under ST & SC Act?- yes-

 The offences alleged in the instant case are under Sec.323, 506 IPC and Sec.3(1)(x) of SC, ST (POA) Act, 1989. All the aforesaid offences are punishable with a term less than 7 years. Therefore, the procedure contemplated under Sec.41 and 41-A Cr.P.C, squarely apply to them and those Sections have not made any express distinction between the offences punishable under IPC and other Special enactments. Therefore, the contra view expressed by learned Addl. Junior Civil Judge, is incorrect. The explanation of the SDPO Madanapalle dated 13.04.2017 shows that since the offence was punishable below 7 years of imprisonment and as the accused had not failed to comply with the terms of notice under Sec.41-A Cr.P.C, the I.O did not consider it necessary to arrest the accused. Therefore, the I.O granted station bail by securing the bail bonds of the sureties on behalf of the accused. This procedural order under Sec.41-A Cr.P.C cannot be equated with an order passed by a Court under Sec.438
