HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8306 of 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioner-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him C.C.No.37 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Palakol, West Godavari District, taken on file for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner never borrowed any amount from the 2nd respondent and he never issued the cheque in dispute in favour of the 2nd respondent. He further submitted that the 2nd respondent is totally an unknown person to the petitioner and is not having any relationship with the petitioner. He further submitted that he issued the cheque in dispute and another cheque in favour of one P.Srinivasa Rao in connection with a money transaction between his father and the said P.Srinivasa Rao. On perusal of the complaint and also the other material placed before this Court, it is seen that the petitioner has signed the cheque. Hence, this Court is of the view that this is not a stage to interfere with the proceedings in C.C.No.37 of 2010. However, the petitioner can raise the contentions that are raised herein before the trial Court for better appreciation. Accordingly, the criminal petition is dismissed. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his presence. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 25th August, 2010 CBS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8306 of 2010 (Dismissed) 25th August, 2010 CBS
