Crl.O.P.No.26653 of 2017 : (E.O.C.C.No.10 of 2014) 3.29.The allegations in the complaint are that, during inspection, it was observed from the Minutes of the Committee of Management and AGM for the financial year ending 31.03.2009 that the accounts were presented and approved for the committee members and on the same day AGM was held and accounts were laid for adoption without giving sufficient time of 21 days notice, contravening Section 171 of the Companies Act.

Crl.O.P.No.26655 of 2017 : (E.O.C.C.No.195 of 2013) 3.31.

The allegations in the complaint are that, during inspection, it was observed that the Minutes of the Committee of Management dated 04.09.2007, 06.12.2007, 28.10.2008, 11.02.2009, 07.01.2011 were resolved to ratify the sale of the property by various Dioceses without prior approval of CSITA, contravening Section 25 of the Companies Act r/w. Rule 8 of Chapter II of Manual.

4.Therefore the aforesaid prosecutions have been launched by the respondent as against the petitioners,who are the Directors and Ex-Director of the company at the relevant point of time. 5.The learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners submitted that the complaints are bereft of details and there are no details as to the date of the inspection and date of

alleged occurrence and the complaints have been filed with an inordinate delay, which is barred by limitation and there are no details in the complaints as to when the application was filed for obtaining sanction and when sanction was accorded to exclude the limitation period. The learned Senior Counsel further submitted that the very complaint itself indicates that the show cause notice was issued in the year 2013, i.e., after three years from the date of alleged violations/offence in the year 2010. Therefore, the complaints are expressly barred by limitation. Therefore, the learned Senior Counsel submitted that the trial Court ought not to have taken cognizance of the complaints and very taking cognizance itself is barred by Section 468 Cr.P.C.

Hence, the learned Senior Counsel prayed for quashing the prosecutions launched by the respondent. 6.The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent submitted that, in some of the cases, provisions of law have not been properly made and in fact, it is averred as if there is violation of Section 25 of the Companies Act, 1956, but the violations are only under Section 211(7) of the Act. Hence, it is his submission that such mis-quoting of the provisions in the petitions itself amounts to suppression of material facts. Moreover, the complaints have been filed for the alleged offences found out during the inspection said to have been conducted as per Section 209 of the Companies Act, 1956, therefore, these petitions are liable to be dismissed. 7.

Heard the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent and also perused the entire materials available on record.

8.Though the complaints indicate that there were some violations of the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, the complaints are bereft of details as to the nature of the inspection carried out and when such inspection was carried out and what was the date of the alleged offence, etc. Further, the complaint itself indicates that the complainant acquired the knowledge of the offence only in the year 2013, after the direction given by the Department of Company Affairs, Chennai, to launch prosecution.

Thereafter, show cause notices were issued on various dates thereafter. It is relevant to note that the maximum punishment for the alleged offences is imprisonment for a period of six months or fine to an extent of Rs.10,000/- or both.

9.Section 468 Cr.P.C. reads as follows :

"468. Bar to taking cognizance after lapse of the period of limitation :-

(1)Except as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Code, no Court, shall take cognizance of an offence of the category specified in sub-section (2), after the expiry of the period of limitation.

(2)The period of limitation shall be- (a) six months, if the offence is punishable with fine only;

(b) one year, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year; (c) three years, if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for a term exceeding one year but not exceeding three years.

(3) For the purposes of this section, the period of limitation, in relation to offences which may be tried together, shall be determined with reference to the offence which is punishable with the more severe punishment or, as the case may be, the most severe punishment."

10.In such case, the complaints ought to have been filed within a period of one year from the date of alleged occurrence. Section 470 Cr.P.C. deals with exclusion of time in certain cases. Clause (3) of Section 470 Cr.P.C. indicates that, where notice of prosecution for an offence has been given, or where, under any law for the time being in force, the previous consent or sanction of the Government or any other authority is required for the institution of any prosecution for an offence, than, in computing the period of limitation, the period of such notice or, as the case may be, the time required for obtaining such consent or sanction shall be excluded. The explanation appended to Clause (3) of Section 470 Cr.P.C. makes it clear that, in computing the time required for obtaining the consent or sanction of the Government or any other authority, the date on which the application was made for obtaining the consent or sanction and the date of receipt of the order of the Government or other authority shall both be excluded.

11.From the above explanation, it is very clear that the period from the date of application for obtaining consent or sanction till the date of according such sanction, shall be excluded. However, it is relevant to note that the entire complaint is bereft of details as to when such application for sanction was made and when the sanction was obtained, whereas, in the complaints, it is generally stated as if the complainant acquired the knowledge of the offence only in the year 2013. 12.When a person is sought to be prosecuted under penal law,

then the statutory mandate is that the prosecution ought to have been launched in a particular manner within the period of limitation. One cannot take advantage of the fact that they have acquired the knowledge of the alleged occurrence only at a later point of time, after the orders of the superior officials, and file a complaint and try to fit into the period of limitation. When a person is sought to be implicated in a criminal case, which involves life and liberty of the person, statutory provisions have to be followed strictly. However, in the present case, the complaints are totally silent about the date on which the sanction was sought, sanction was accorded, etc.

Not even a statement is found in the complaints as to when the sanction was accorded and it is only averred that, on the instructions of the superior officials, the prosecution has been launched. It is pertinent to note that the prosecution has been launched in the year 2013, i.e., after three years from the alleged violations pointed out in the year 2010. 13.In such view of the matter, this Court is of the view that the very lodging of the complaints by the respondent beyond the period of limitation cannot be sustained in the eye of law. Therefore, this Court can very well invoke its jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. and quash the prosecutions, to prevent the persons being implicated from facing the ordeal of trial. 14.

Moreover, the contention of the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent with regard to wrong quoting of provisions of law in some of the petitions, has no relevance at all. Mere quoting wrong provisions of law will not make any difference. The ultimate aim is to see the object of the petition for which it was filed. Therefore, this Court is of the view that such contention has no force.

15.Having regard to the above discussion and the facts that the complaints are barred by limitation and that there are no details in the complaints as to the date and nature of sanction and only on instructions of the superior officials, these complaints have been filed, and that the exclusion of time cannot be sought by the complainant in these cases, all the Criminal Original Petitions are allowed and the proceedings before the trial Court are quashed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.

16.The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent is entitled to separate fees for each case.
