CRM No. M-29125 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-29125 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 03.11.2009 Sushma Bindra ...Petitioner Versus Santokh Singh ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. S.S. Khaira, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J (oral). This is a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of the impugned complaint bearing No.340, under Section 138 Negotiable Instrument Act as well as summoning order dated 1st December, 2007, passed by Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Gurdaspur. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that prior to the issuance of legal notice dated 9th October, 2007, Annexure P-2, a legal notice dated 30th July, 2007, Annexure P-3 was issued on behalf of the respondent. According to the counsel, the complaint before the Magistrate was barred by limitation of 11 months. This apart, contents of notices, Annexure P-2 & P-3, are totally different and thus, the petitioner could not have been summoned to face trial. According to the counsel, the complaint and the summoning order pursuant thereto deserve to be quashed. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given CRM No. M-29125 of 2009 2 careful thought to the facts of the case. The summoning order, which is impugned in the present petition, was passed on 1st December, 2007. It appears, the petitioner did not prefer any revision petition against the same. After almost two years of passing of order, Annexure P-4 dated 1st December, 2007, he has preferred the instant petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of the complaint and all consequential proceedings. In my considered view, all the pleas raised by the petitioner can be considered by the trial court at an appropriate stage. Some evidence may have to be led before the court to arrive at an appropriate conclusion regarding the contentions made by the petitioner. In my considered view, no interference in inherent jurisdiction of this court is called for. Dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE November 03, 2009 'rajpal'
