THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.11992 of 2011 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court invoking the provisions under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the proceedings against him in C.C.No.124 of 2011 on the file of the II Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kothagudem, Khammam District. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the instrument in question was issued only for security purpose and there was no legally enforceable debt under the same. He further submits that the complaint is not filed within 30 days from the date of receipt of notice sent to the petitioner, hence the complaint itself is not maintainable. Offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial and the petitioner is at liberty to raise all the points before the trial Court. In any event considering the nature of allegations, presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Judge insists for the same and the petitioner shall be properly represented by his counsel. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 25th November 2011 Rns
