The accused have been acquitted for committing an offence under Section 138 of the N.I. Act. On perusal of the judgment and order, I find that the acquittal is based on cogent and acceptable reasons. It is the finding of the court that the notice u/s. 138 was not dispatched within 15 days after dishonour of the cheque.It is contended that there was strike of the post office. The Trial Court while accepting this evidence recorded that the service can be effected by other modes. The reasoning of the trial court cannot be faulted with. Hence, leave refused. Consequently the appeal papers to be filed. (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
