IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH, JAIPUR O R D E R S.B. Criminal Appeal No.165 of 2008. Puranchand son of Shri Onkarchand Sharma VERSUS Ratan Kumar son of Shri Chaturbhuj. Date of Order :::: 09/03/2009. Hon'ble Mr. Justice Bhanwaroo Khan None present for the accused/appellant Mr. A.N. Sharma, Counsel for the respondent. By the Court : Accused-appellant has moved this appeal against the order dated 14.12.2007 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge No.2, Alwar in an appeal filed by him against the judgment of the Additional Judicial Magistrate No.4, Alwar, whereby he was convicted for the commission of offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. No one has appeared on behalf of the accused- appellant. Heard learned counsel for the respondent and perused the impugned order. Accused-appellant was convicted by the Judicial Magistrate No.4, Alwar. He preferred an appeal, which came to be dismissed, and his main thrust in the application under Section 340, Cr.P.C. submitted by him is that the forgery was committed by the respondent in the cheque issued. The same ground was raised by the appellant in both the Courts below and the Courts below have rejected the plea of the appellant. No ground exists to intervene in the orders passed by the Courts below. There is no merit in this appeal and it deserves to be dismissed. Consequently, this appeal stands dismissed.
