Respondent's Exhibits :- NIL. //True Copy// P.A. to Judge N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, J. -------------------------------- Crl.M.C. No.4135 of 2011 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of December 2011 O R D E R Petitioner is the accused in S.T.No.2707/2008 of J.F.C.M.-I, Varkala. The case was filed against him alleging offence punishable under Sec.138 of N.I.Act. The cheque in question is for Rs.8,646/-. The accused did not appear before the court below and so warrant was issued against him. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is ready to surrender before the court and to plead guilty and that he will pay the amount of fine/compensation on the same day. If the accused pleads guilty and since the cheque amount is only Rs.8,646/-, there is no reason to believe that the learned Magistrate will not record the plea or will not dispose of the case on the very same date. I do not think that the learned Magistrate will Crl.M.C. No.4135 of 2011 -: 2 :- pass any sentence of imprisonment. The petitioner will surrender before the learned Magistrate within two weeks from today and the learned Magistrate will dispose of the case on the same day itself if the petitioner pleads guilty. This Crl.M.C. is disposed of as above. N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Jvt
