Questions about Section 351

How do I find court cases under Section 351 of the Crpc 1973?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: CRPC 1973 351, section 351 CRPC 1973, section 351 of the Crpc 1973. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 351 of the Crpc 1973, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 344 (Summary procedure for trial for giving false evidence), section 345 (Procedure in certain cases of contempt), section 347 (When Registrar or Sub-Registrar to be deemed a Civil Court), section 349 (Imprisonment or committal of person refusing to answer or produce document), and on 1 further provision, so none of them can safely be read on its own.

When was the Crpc 1973 enacted?

Crpc 1973 was enacted in 1974 as Act 2 of 1974. India Code records no commencement date for it. It is no longer in force.
