THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.3022 of 2010 ORDER: This Criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner – accused seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.226 of 2008 on the fie of the XI Metropolitan Magistrate, R.R.District, L.B.Nagar arising out of a private complaint filed under Sections 190 and 200 Cr.P.C. for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 2. Heard. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that the cheque in question is not issued by him and to substantiate the plea that he issued the cheque, the complainant has not filed any such document before the Court. Even if such a document is produced, it is for the trial Court to decide the issue after completion of the trial. 4. In such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings in C.C.226 of 2008. In any event, as the petitioner-accused is aged about 78 years, and the question of his identity before the court does not arise, his presence before the trial Court is dispensed with. The petitioner-accused is hereby directed to appear before the Court on the dates when the learned Magistrate insists for the same. 5. With the above observation, the criminal petition is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed along with the criminal petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 25th January 2011, Rns
