STATE OF KERALA,REP.BY THE STATE PROSECUTOR,HIGH COURT OF KERALA,ERNAKULAM. R2 BY PUBLIC PROSECUTOR SMT. REKHA C. NAYAR THIS CRIMINAL REVISION PETITION HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: Kss V.K.MOHANAN, J. -------------------------------------------------- Crl.R.P.NO. 402 OF 2011 -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of February, 2010 O R D E R The complainant in a prosecution for the offence under Section 138 of the N.I.Act is the revision petitioner. After taking cognizance, the complainant miserably failed to prosecute the matter though several opportunities were given. From the impugned order, it appears that on 5.10.2010 and 28.10.2010, the case stood for consideration on which date, the complainant was directed to furnish the correct address of the accused and to pay the process fee. Thus, when the case was taken on 4.12.2010, not only the earlier direction was not complied with but also the complainant was absent on the above date and no application was filed to excuse his absence. It was, under the above circumstances, the learned Magistrate issued the impugned order dismissing the complaint under Section 204(4) of Cr.P.C. I find no reason to interfere with the order. Crl.R.P.No.402 of 2011 :-2-: This Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed. V.K.MOHANAN, Judge. MBS/
