Rajinder & Ors. vs Harsh Vohra & Ors. on 1 December, 2009
18. I do not find any error whatsoever in the order of dismissal of the application
under Section 340 of the Cr.P.C. I have otherwise also recently in Vinedale Distilleries
Ltd Vs S.K. Aggarwal MANU/DE/2261/2009 and for detailed reasons given therein held
that ordinarily applications under section 340 of the Cr.P.C. ought not to be filed or taken
up before the lis between the parties is adjudicated in the suit. Till said adjudication, the
Court cannot be expected to arrive at a finding of falsehood in the pleadings of any of the
parties. If such falsehood does not require any trial, then there would be no occasion for
recording evidence and the suit itself can be disposed of. However, whenever issues have
been framed and trial ordered, it cannot be said till the final adjudication of the suit as to
the version of which party is false.
