1 WP : 508/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO.508 OF 2011 Dr.Ketan Rajpopat ……… Petitioner Vs. The State of Maharashtra ……… Respondents & Anr. Mrs.Pravina Kanani i/by D. Galani, Advocate for petitioner. Mrs.U.V. Kezriwal, APP for State. CORAM : Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. Date : 3rd March 2011. PC.: 1. The petitioner who is facing proceedings under Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act, by this writ petition seeks cancellation of nonbailable warrant issued against him on 3rd January 2011. Admittedly the petitioner has not approached the trial court for cancellation of the warrant. 2. The complainant had made a grievance to the trial court that the petitioner was not attending to the court. The trial court allowed the application observing that the petitioner had appeared before the court of Metropolitan Magistrate, Mazgaon in the same matter. Ms. Kanani, the learned counsel submits that the matter had never appeared before the Mazgaon Court. It was earlier pending in the 2 WP : 508/2011 Court of Metropolitan Magistrate, 20th Court, Esplanade, Mumbai. This fact can be brought to the notice of the learned Judge by filing appropriate application for cancellation of nonbailable warrant. Since the petitioner has alternate remedy of applying to the trial court for cancellation of non bailable warrant, the writ petition is dismissed. ( Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J.)
