In this writ petition the challenge is against the proceedings initiated by the Bank before the Chief Judicial Magisitrate for obtaining an order under sec.14 of the Act. 2. According to the petitioner, the Chief Judicial Magistrate lacks jurisdiction, and only the District Magistrate can entertain such an application. 3. Since the petitioner is a total stranger to the transaction in question that led to the proceedings, I do not think that the petitioner has any locus standi to file this writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
