(1) CRI. APP. 1102.2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1102 OF 2010 Santosh S/o Vaijanath Birajdar .. Applicant VERSUS Sugrive S/o Kerba Nangare .. Respondent Ms. Varsha B. Khodse, Advocate for the applicant ... CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 25TH MARCH, 2010 PER COURT:- 1] This Application seeks special leave to file Appeal against the judgment and order, acquitting the respondent-accused from the offence punishable under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The Court below acquitted the respondent-accused, mainly because the respondent-accused could prove that the cheque in question was not drawn on his personal account, but it was drawn on the account, maintained by his son. Incidentally, the name of the account has similarity with the name of the accused, but the bank witness specifically deposed that the account was opened by the son of the accused for his proprietary firm. The Bank officer also deposed that (2) CRI. APP. 1102.2010 the signature on the cheque belonged to the son of the respondent-accused. In view of this, the case failed. 2] I do not think there is any scope for allowing the Application. The Criminal Application stands rejected. Sd/- (A.V. NIRGUDE, J.) arp
