Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.12838 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioners approached this Court with a prayer to quash the proceedings initiated against them in C.C.No.1475 of 2009 on the file of the XIV Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate at Hyderabad. Heard. Offence alleged against the petitioners is punishable under Sections 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners have not given the disputed cheque towards discharge of legally enforceable debt, but it was given in connection with some other transaction. This Court is of the view that the contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioners herein can be raised before the trial Court and the trial Court is directed to appreciate the same in proper perspective. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the investigation at this stage. In any event, considering the nature of allegations wherein the question of identity of the accused does not arise, the presence of the petitioners before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates the learned trial Magistrate insists for the same. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Petition, if any, shall stand closed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 01.04.2011 v v
