THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2571 OF 2011 DATED 22nd MARCH, 2011. BETWEEN : B.Satyanarayana .. Petitioner-accused and The State of A.P. & another ..Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2571 OF 2011 ORDER: Petitioner-accused approaches this Court with a prayer to recall the warrant issued against him by the trial Court in Crl.M.P.No.421 of 2011. Heard. Petitioner was convicted for an offence under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act in C.C.No.487/2006 against which he preferred an appeal in Crl.A.No.17 of 2011 whereby the learned Sessions Judge suspended the execution of sentence directing to pay 50% of the compensation amount imposed by the trial Court. Challenging the same petitioner filed a revision before this Court. In the said revision, this Court passed an order setting aside the order of the learned Sessions Judge and posted the matter for further hearing. In the mean while, the trial Court, which convicted the accused, issued non-bailable warrant against the petitioner herein. When the petitioner approached the trial Court, the trial Court returned the application on the ground that the entire material papers were forwarded to the Sessions Court. The Sessions Court also returned the application on the ground that “how this petition is maintainable at this stage”. Aggrieved over the same, petitioner approached this Court with this petition. The warrant issued by the trial Court is only to secure the presence of the petitioner-accused before the trial Court. When the petitioner already approached this Court by way of filing a revision challenging the order of the learned Sessions Judge, this Court is of the view that the warrant issued by the trial Court is liable to be recalled. Accordingly, the non-bailable warrant issued against the petitioner is hereby recalled and the petitioner is directed to appear before the Court where the appeal is pending regularly on all hearing dates. With above observations, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 22.03.2011 sur
