Prem Raj Bhatnagar & others, relating to offence punishable under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Udham Singh Nagar. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are not partners of the firm, and are not responsible for the cheque in question said to have been issued, which got dishonoured.
