THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.7074 of 2011 ORDER: This criminal petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is filed by the petitioner/Accused seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.20 of 2011 on the file of the II-Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate, Machilipatnam, wherein he is facing trial for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioner mainly argued that there is no financial transaction between the petitioner and the defacto- complainant at any point of time. He further argued that the defacto- complainant misused the instrument in question by filling the name of the petitioner in the instrument and, hence, prayed to quash the proceedings against the petitioner. This Court is of the view that the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner are all disputed facts that can be decided by the trial Court. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the trial. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal petition shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 30.08.2011 v v
