Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgement? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? PRESENT: Mr. Tribhawan Singla, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. The only ground to seek quashing of the complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act is that prior to the complaint, a suit for recovery was filed. These would be two separate remedies and can be pursued simultaneously. The criminal liability arise because of it being made an offence and so the complaint in this regard can be maintained. The prayer of the petitioner that the cheque was forged one is to be established before the Trial Court and can not be gone into in exercise of jurisdiction under Section 482 Cr.P.C. Dismissed.
