Heard. However, after arguing for some time, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the presence of the petitioner may be dispensed with before the trial Court. Since the offence alleged against the petitioner is under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act and considering the nature of the allegations made against him, the 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 disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 08.08.2011 pnb
