Section 311 CrPC | Late Evidence to Clarify Proprietorship Permissible If No Prejudice to Accused: Punjab & Haryana HC
Punjab & Haryana HC ruled that late submission of a Special Power of Attorney under Section 311 CrPC to correct proprietorship details in a Section 138 NI Act complaint is permissible if it merely rectifies an inadvertent omission and does not alter the complaint’s foundation or cause prejudice to the accused. The decision underscores procedural fairness in criminal trials where evidence is essential for a just adjudication.
