In an ongoing petition under Section 319 CrPC in a criminal miscellaneous petition before the Magistrate Court, the respondents/accused have filed their counter statement to the application. The court has noted that the matter is now at the stage of hearing the petitioner’s side in response to that counter. The counter contains no evidence, only mere denial and alleged misinterpretation of the law. The petitioner has also filed a reply to the counter. The matter has been adjourned for petitioner and respondent side enquiry. What is the meaning of both-side enquiry?
“Both-side enquiry” means the court will hear arguments, documents, and evidence from both petitioner and accused before deciding whether additional persons should be summoned under Section 319 CrPC. Since you already filed reply to counter, you should now focus on supporting evidence, witness statements, and legal arguments. Mere denial by accused is not sufficient if your material shows involvement. Court will decide after evaluating both sides fairly. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
