The case pertains to an offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, and the petitioner herein is the accused in the case. The learned counsel for the petitioner has raised various pleas which pertain to disputed questions of fact and cannot be gone into in this petition. Hence, the relief for quashing the case is rejected. 3. The learned counsel for petitioner brought to my notice that the petitioner who is aged about 60 years has undergone heart surgery twice. He has also brought the medical records of petitioner. In view of the same, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner cannot attend every date of hearing before the trial Court and therefore his presence may be dispensed with. It is seen that there is no dispute regarding his identity. Accordingly, the presence of the petitioner on every date of hearing before the trial Court is dispensed with and he can be represented by his counsel. The trial Court shall always have the power to summon the petitioner as and when it considers his presence necessary. 4. With the above direction, this petition is disposed of at the admission stage. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR 29th July, 2011 Tjmr THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION NO.6217 OF 2011 DATE: 29.07.2011
