THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.9184 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to set aside the orders passed against him in S.T.C.No.58 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Pulivendula, Kadapa District, whereby he is facing charge for the offence punishable under Section 138 of NI Act. 2. Heard both sides. 3. After arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner-accused seeks permission of this court for withdrawing the criminal petition and further prayed the court to dispense with the presence of the petitioner before the court below. 4. In view of the submission made by the petitioner’s counsel, permission is accorded and the criminal petition is dismissed as withdrawn. However, as the offence alleged against the petitioner is only under Section 138 of the NI Act, where the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioner-accused before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his counsel. 5. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 28th September 2011, Rns.
