THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR CRIMINAL PETITION No.6128 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 Heard the petitioner’s counsel and also the learned Additional Public Prosecutor. 2 This petition is filed for quashing the order dated 11.04.2011 passed by the court below in C.C.No.1757 of 2010 issuing a Non Bailable Warrant against the petitioner. The case pertains to an offence under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act and the petitioner herein is the accused in the said case. 3 The plea of the petitioner is that summons were ordered to him on 11.10.2010 and the matter was posted to 11.04.2011 and thereafter on the said date i.e. on 11.04.2011 the court has, without waiting for the court summons to be returned, straight away issued N.B.Ws on the ground that the petitioner has refused the summons sent by post. The petitioner’s counsel points out that the petitioner did not receive the summons sent by post and instead the other side managed and got the summons retuned with the endorsement ‘refused’. It is not necessary to go into these aspects in the interest of speedy disposal of the case. 4 In the circumstances, the petitioner shall now go and surrender before the court below on or before 10.08.2011 and on such surrender he is ordered to be released on bail on his executing a bond for an amount of Rs.5,000/- with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the said court, giving an undertaking for his appearance before the said Court on each and every date of hearing of the case. 5 This petition is accordingly disposed of at the admission stage. ------------------------ N.
