DATE : 15 th June, 2010. ... 1) Heard Mr.PN Sonpethkar, learned Counsel for the applicant and Mrs. BR Khekale, learned APP for Respondent No.2-State. Nobody appears for Respondent No.1 in spite of service of notice. 2) This is an application preferred by the applicant (original complainant) seeking leave to file an appeal against the judgment and order of acquittal dated 26.12.2008 rendered by the learned 2nd JMFC, Aurangabad in SCC No.2316/2005 for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 3) It appears that the complaint filed by the applicant herein has been dismissed for want of taking steps by the learned J.M.F.C. by order dated 26.12.2008 and thereby acquitted the respondent/original accused and the said order has been challenged by the applicant by way of filing the present 2 application, seeking leave to file an appeal. Apparently, this is a fit case to grant leave. 4) In view of the said position, leave to file an appeal is granted to the applicant. (SHRIHARI P.DAVARE) JUDGE bdv/p/cran3660.09
