• 340 CrPC

Sec 340 CrPC was filed against plaintiff in case ABC due to lack of statutory permission. 
Plaintiff, in case XYZ (where plaintiff is defendant), the very next day, submitted affidavit acknowledging lack of statutory permission. 

Questions:
1. Is it our problem that the different lawyers of the plaintiff do not coordinate? I assume we can use the affidavit of case XYZ in case ABC
2. How long can the judge in case ABC wait for plaintiff to file a reply to Sec 340? Already 2 dates are past.. plaintiff will never submit a reply
3. In the SC judgment of "Jasbir Singh vs State of Punjab" in Sept 2022, is an inquiry necessary? Or can the court start proceedings straightaway?

  1. If there is no coordination among lawyers of party, the opposite is in no say liable for that. Admission made in one legal proceedings can be used against the maker in another legal proceedings under Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
  2. If the plaintiff fails to submit his say on next date, Court can decide you application without any reply from him.
  3. 340 proceeding is serious matter having grave legal consequences against the party. Court will make a preliminary enquiry before passing any order.

1. Instead of filing perjury case you can file an appeal against the orders which was reportedly obtained by playing fraud on the court of registrar by giving false statements about compliance of the said section of law.  

2. Dy. Registrar is an official party.

No perjury action can be taken up against him if he has done anything in his official capacity.

Your grievances is against the builder hence you can get your grievances redressed accordingly.
