Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

My friend working for a company as R&D manager had authenticated test report tested by a laboratory chemist and inspector of govt authority as a routine exercise among so many reports as the material was meeting requirements specified for the product. An agent was the direct supplier to govt organization and company had an rate contract with the agent.

After about 6 months he left the company and joined in another one.

After about a year the previous company sends him a summons saying that the agent has filed case against the company and six of their employees for changing the inspected materials and delivering bad materials. Under section 406,418,420,499 and 120B of IPC as per the court summons.

My friend was unaware of the all happenings and he even do not remember the incident as authenticating report was one of his routine jobs among many and he do not know the agent personally.

After about 6 years the company informed him that the case is moving and court may order to surrender passport, which is quite troublesome as for his business he has to go abroad quite often.

As he is innocent and do not even remember the exact cause why he is been troubled I request suggestions so that he can be relived, This also interfering his personal and professional life and causing a lot of tension and he may loose creativity required in his profession.

The case is in Sessions court.

Your friend must appear in the court and establish his innocence, though on facts it seems unfortunate.

Generally matter is sessions courts are heard and decided quite expeditiously. If your friends has good case on merits, case can be heard and decided in couple of months.
