This petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for quashing of complaint No.36014R0193232009 dated 06.10.2009 titled 'Naveen Kumar versus Baljot Dhadli' under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 read with Section 420 IPC and summoning order dated 09.10.2009. Mr. H.S. Bhullar, Advocate for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner Smt. Baljot Dhadli has no role to play in the agreement to sell, which was conducted between her husband and the complainant. Counsel for the petitioner does not dispute that the cheque was issued on asking of the husband, which was dishonoured on account of the fact that account had been closed. She has no role to play in execution of agreement to sell and even if the cheque has been dishonoured, the complaint cannot be initiated against her under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act read with Section 420 IPC as she has no debt against the complainant. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the petition carefully. Criminal Misc. No. M-6450 of 2011 -2- After hearing the contentions, raised by counsel for the petitioner, no case under Section 420 IPC is made out but there is no occasion to quash the complaint under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. The criminal miscellaneous petition is dismissed. 06.4.2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
