It does not speak for presentation of complaint,&#8221; the court said.<\/p>\n<p>It also said that in the complaint, the commissioner had nowhere asked for initiation of any legal action against the accused.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Had the complainant presented complaint directly to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate seeking action against the offender, it would have been in compliance with provisions of Section 195 CrPC. But herein as noticed above, neither the complaint was presented to court nor cognisance was taken of any such complaint,&#8221; the court said while acquitting Shukla.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man, accused of obstructing a commissioner from discharging his duties here in 1998, has been acquitted by a Delhi court due to lack of properly drafted and legally presentable complaint against him. &#8220;This court finds merit in the contention raised by counsel for the accused that he could not be prosecuted for the offence [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":34772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[7775,146,229,29463,29462,47774,29464,23371],"class_list":["post-34771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-law-news","tag-additional-sessions-judge-narinder-kumar","tag-court","tag-delhi","tag-improper-drafted-complnews","tag-shambhu-nath-shukla","tag-todays-news","tag-todays-top-newsaint","tag-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Improper drafted complaint: Man acquitted<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Improper drafted complaint: Man acquitted\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/improper-drafted-complaint-man-acquitted\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Improper drafted complaint: Man acquitted\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Improper drafted complaint: Man acquitted\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.legalindia.com\/news\/improper-drafted-complaint-man-acquitted\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Legal News India - Supreme Court &amp;
