Mrs. Fahmida Mizan and others vs. The State and another
The proviso to sub-section (1) of section 140 of the Act exonerates the second category of a person if he can show that the company has committed the offence without his knowledge or that he could not prevent the commission of the offence despite his endeavour to prevent the same. This will be deductible from the facts and circumstances of the case and it can only be shown and proved by evidence. The liability envisaged in sub-section (1) of section 140 of the Act is on the person who was in-charge of, and was responsible to the company for the conduct of the business of the company is fixed by the legislature because he is directly responsible for the offence. This category of persons need not have done any specific overt act or omitted to do anything to be fastened with liability. The very fact that the company has committed the offence is sufficient to make them liable. Accordingly, no averment is required to be made in the petition of complaint specifying their overt act in the commission of the offence by them.

Md. Asif Ahammed Vs. The State
The Mobile Court Ain, 2009 does not give any authority to the Executive Magistrate or District Magistrate to proceed against a person in the name of Mobile Court for an offence which is not committed before him while he was conducting Mobile Court for the purpose, as stated above. In other words, there is no scope under the Ain, 2009 to proceed against a person for an offence covered by the Ain, in the name of Mobile Court who was apprehended or arrested or detained by the police from elsewhere and thereafter, was produced before the Executive Magistrate for proceeding against him through Mobile Court.
65
Md. Insan Ali and others Vs. Md. Kudrat E Khoda @ Abu Sayed and others
Since the trial Court declared in the suit that the summons has returned after service, the requirement of Court’s declaration under rule 19 of Order V of the Code has been complied with. Moreover, the process-server made declarations in respect of service of summons under rule 17 of Order V of the Code and since such declaration of the process-server shall be received as evidence of the fact as to the service of summons upon the defendant-petitioners as per rule 19A of Order V of the Code, I am of the view that the summons upon defendant Nos. 16, 32 and 33 was duly served and the onus was shifted to the defendants to prove by evidence that the summons was not duly served upon them.

Masud Parvez and others Vs. Md. Golam Mostafa and others
The language of the first proviso to rule 17 of Order VI of the Code of Civil Procedure is clear and unambiguous which clearly stipulates that no application for amendment of pleadings shall be allowed after the trial has commenced. However, such amendment may be allowed if the Court is of opinion that in spite of due diligence, the party could not have raised the matter before the commencement of trial. Accordingly, it is imperative for the party to make out a specific case in the application for amendment of pleadings stating that in spite of due diligence, he/she could not have filed such application before commencement of trial of the suit and before allowing such amendment, Court must form an opinion to that effect.
70
Mst. Oleda Begum and others Vs. Mst. Momena Khatun and others
Rule 774 of Chapter 34 of Part I of the Civil Rules and Orders (the CRO) provides list of Miscellaneous Judicial cases filed under the Civil Procedure Code. Sub-rule (a)(5) of the Rule 774 of the CRO includes section 144 of the Code of Civil Procedure in the category of Miscellaneous Judicial Cases. On perusal of Rule 774 it appears that an application under section 144 of the Code of Civil Procedure is to be registered as Miscellaneous Case.

From the above view of the appellate Division, it is clear that a party is entitled to restitution under section 144 of the Code of Civil Procedure only when he has been deprived of some right or property by an erroneous judgment, order or decree. If the higher Court comes to the conclusion that the trial Court by an erroneous judgment or order decreed the suit and thereafter, reverse the said judgment only then question of restitution will arise.
71
Mst. Minu Akter and others Vs. Sirajul Hoque Babu and others
In an appropriate case, the Court is not powerless to apply the provisions under the Code of Civil Procedure in a proceeding under Arbitration Act, 2001. This means that the Court may allow 3rd party to be added in an arbitration proceeding who’s interest is adversely affected by the decision of the arbitral tribunal by applying the provisions under Order I rule 10 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

The State Vs. Most. Rahela Khatun
Examination under Section 342 Cr.PC:
• The trial Judge may put questions to the accused during examination under Section 342. But answers given by the accused to such questions cannot be used as evidence to base his conviction for the very reason that such answer of the accused is not given on oath and that the accused cannot be cross-examined unless and until he desires to give evidence in support of the defence case and that such answers are not evidence within the meaning of Section 3 of the Evidence Act.
