THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2312 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.23 of 2009 on the file of the V Additional Munsiff Magistrate, Guntur. The offences alleged against the petitioner are punishable under Sections 138 and 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Since the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. In any event, considering the nature of the allegations and that the question of identity of the accused does not arise in this matter, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with, except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for his presence and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel. With the above observations, this criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 16.03.2011 v v
