IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No. M-28999/2010(O&M) Date of decision: 30.9.2010. Jaswant Rai ....................Petitioner v. Sarbjit Kumar .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Jagdish Manchanda,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Prayer under Section 482 Cr.PC is for quashing the complaint no.129 dated 12.7.2007 under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act as well as all consequential proceedings arising therefrom. A perusal of the complaint (Annexure P5) shows that the same was filed by respondent-complainant against one Jaswant Rai, who has been summoned by the trial Court. The present petition has been filed by Jaswant Rai through his wife Smt.Jasbir Kaur without there being even a Power of Attorney executed by the accused in favour of his wife Jasbir Kaur. Although it would still remain a debatable issue as to whether such a representation through a Power of Attorney could be maintainable without there such a request emanating from the accused and further unless the Court expressly granting permission. In view of the above, in my opinion, present petition is not maintainable. Dismissed. 30.9.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
