Bombay HC, Aurangabad Bench

05/07/2018

CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO . 1465 OF 2017

About/from the judgment:

Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 - Second Complaint on the same Facts - filing the second complaint without disclosing the fact of the filing of the first complaint muchless explaining the exceptional circumstances is a sheer abuse of the process of the law.

 

A second complaint, after the first is dismissed under Section 203 of the Cr.P.C. is normally not maintainable and would be maintainable only in exceptional circumstances. A second complaint on the same facts would be entertained only in exceptional circumstances where the previous order was passed on an incomplete record or on a misunderstanding of the nature of the complaint or it was manifestly absurd or unjust.
