THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7550 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner-Accused approached the Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings against them in C.C.No.184 of 2009 on the file of the III Addl. Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 138 and 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Heard both sides. Offences alleged against the petitioners are punishable under Sections 138 and 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Since the material on record prima facie reveals allegations against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. In any event, since the allegations leveled against the petitioner arose out of financial transaction, the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for their presence and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel before the trial Court. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. _______________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 25th August 2011, CHV
