THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1047 of 2003 JUDGMENT: The petitioner herein filed a private complaint stating that the first respondent herein issued two cheques for a sum of Rs.3,60,000/- and on presentation of the same, they were bounced. As such, the petitioner followed the procedure contemplated under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and filed a private complaint, which was numbered C.C.No.138 of 1997 on the file of the XV Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Hyderabad. As the petitioner failed to deposit the process, despite sufficient time was given, the Court below dismissed the complaint by an order, dated 02.02.1999. Subsequently, the petitioner filed Crl.M.P.No.168 of 2003 in Crl.R.P.(SR)No.560 of 2003 before the Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, praying to condone the delay of 1370 days in filing the Revision Petition seeking to set aside the said order, dated 02.02.1999, but the same was dismissed on 16.04.2003. The said order is under challenge in this Revision Case. Though the Revision Case was admitted on 06.02.2004 so far the notices are not served on the first respondent. Coming to know of the said fact, this Court directed the learned counsel for the petitioner on 26.08.2010 to take out substitute service by publishing the notice in Eenadu Telugu Daily Newspaper of Guntur Edition and file proof of publication. Thereafter, though the matter was adjourned, the petitioner failed to file any proof of publication of notice. In those circumstances, this Court is of the view that the Revision Case deserves to be dismissed. In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 28th October 2010 dr
