HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.13911 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-Accused No.1, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.577 of 2008 on the file of the IX Addl. Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad. Heard and perused the record. The offence alleged against the petitioner is punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. The material on record prima facie reveals some allegations against the petitioner. Hence, this Court is not inclined to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the learned Magistrate has issued non-bailable warrant against the petitioner and the same may be recalled. On perusal of the record, this Court is of the view that the learned Magistrate has issued the non-bailable warrant against the petitioner only to secure his presence before the Court. Considering the submission of the learned counsel and in the facts and circumstances of the case, the petitioner is hereby directed to appear before the trial Court and file an application seeking to recall the warrant issued against him and, on filing of such application, the learned Magistrate is directed to recall the warrant on the same day. Further, the petitioner is directed to appear before the trial Court thereafter regularly. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is disposed of and miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 28th December, 2011 v v
