HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.8794 of 2011 ORDER: This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings initiated against him in C.C.No.53 of 2011 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Bobbili, for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that from the entire allegations in the complaint, no case is made out against the petitioner, much less the case for the alleged offence. The complaint prima facie reveals that the petitioner committed an offence punishable under Section 138 of the Act. Hence, the contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner is not merit acceptance and is hereby rejected. Accordingly, the Criminal Petition is dismissed and the miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed shall stand closed. In any event, as the offence alleged against the petitioner is punishable under Section 138 of the N.I. Act wherein the question of identity of the petitioner does not arise, his appearance before the trial Court is dispensed with, except the dates on which the learned Magistrate insists for his appearance and he shall be properly represented through his counsel. _____________ RAJA ELANGO, J 21st September, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Criminal Petition No.8794 of 2011 (Dismissed) 21st September, 2011 cbs
