Issue (despatch)
Issue (despatch), the meaning of the word 'issued' has to be gathered from the context in which it is used. Meanings of the word 'issue' given in the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary include: 'to give exit to; to send forth, or allow to pass out; to let out; ... to give or send out authoritatively or officially; to send forth or deal out formally or publicly; to emit, put into circulation'. The issue of a charge-sheet, therefore, means its dispatch to the government servant, and this act is complete the moment steps are taken for the purpose, by framing the charge-sheet and dispatching it to the government servant, the further fact of its actual service on the govern-ment servant not being a necessary part of its requirement, Delhi Development Authority v. H.C. Khurana, (1993) 3 SCC 196: AIR 1993 SC 1488 (1493)....

Falsely charges
Falsely charges, The expression 'falsely charges' in this section, cannot mean giving false evidence as a prosecution witness against an accused person during the course of a criminal trail. 'To falsely charge' must refer to the criminal or initial accusation putting or seeking to put in motion the machinery of criminal investigation and not when seeking to prove the false charge by making deposition in support of the charge framed in that trial. The words 'falsely charges' have to be read along with the expression 'institution of criminal proceeding'. Both these expressions, being susceptible of analogous meaning should be understood to have been used in their content sense. They get as it were their colour and content from each other. They seems to have been used in a technical sense as commonly understood in our criminal law.
