THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION NO.1020 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by one Kasimsetty Babu - petitioner - accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.17 of 2009 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Railways, Guntur, arising out of a private complaint filed against the petitioner for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 2. Heard. 3. The offence is under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. There is no dispute with regard to the signature of the accused on the cheque. The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the statutory notice is not served on him and that the complainant got managed the postal people in endorsing that the notice ‘returned unserved’. But, all these are questions of fact. There is no dispute about the accused issuing the cheque and notice being sent to him. 4. In the circumstances, it is not a fit case for granting any relief and the criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. 8th February 2010, Rns.
