Process came to be issued against the petitioner/accused in a complaint filed under section 138 of the Negotiable instrument Act by the Chief Judicial Magistrate on 13-9-2005. Sometime in the year 2007, the petitioner moved this court by filing an application under section 482 of Cr.P.C. This court rejected the application in view of the availability of an efficacious alternative remedy in the form of revision before the Sessions Judge. Belatedly the petitioner moved before the Sessions Judge, by filing a revision and as there was in ordinate delay, an application seeking condonation of delay was also moved. The rejection of this application has given rise to the filing of this petition. 2. The Sessions Judge has observed in its order that the delay has not been properly explained, and no reasons are spelt out for condonation of delay. It further observes that the affidavit by way of examination in chief is also filed and the filing of the revision is intended to delay the proceedings in the complaint. 3. Perused the impugned order. The same does not call for any interference as a possible view of the matter has been taken by the Sessions Judge. Hence writ petition is summarily dismissed. Needless to mention that all contentions raised in this petition are kept open to be agitated during the course of the trial. .....
