Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pakistan
The complainant in a cheque dishonour case initiated criminal proceedings against the accused, and also filed a civil suit for the recovery of the amount.
The accused in return filed a civil suit for the cancellation of the cheques, and now all three cases are running side by side.
My question is can the criminal proceedings be stayed until the civil suit for the cancellation of cheques is decided because if cheques are cancelled by the civil court then that judgement will have direct effect on the criminal proceedings as then the criminal liability will disappear.????
Kindly give your valuable advice on this point.
Thanks.

Civil court cannot stop criminal proceedings.. But you can try that by approaching High Court under article 199.. For more [email protected]
