The State of A.P., through Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P. … Respondents This Court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.2156 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner’s counsel is absent today also in spite of listing the matter under the caption of ‘for dismissal’. There is no representation. It appears that the petitioner is not interested to pursue the matter. 2. The petitioner filed this petition questioning order passed by the lower Court dismissing the petition filed by him refusing to reopen the matter and to summon Pavan for being examined as witness. The petitioner came up with this petition after the counsel for the respondent/complainant addressed arguments after trial of the case in the lower Court. The case is one relating to an offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The lower Court observed that reasonable opportunity was given to the petitioner to lead his evidence. The said Pavan is stated to be scribe of the writing in the cheque except name of the payee and Pavan scribed the same on the instructions of the brother of the complainant. The petitioner did not put forward any grounds as to why he did not lead evidence of Pavan when opportunity was given to him to lead defence evidence. It is evident that the petitioner who is an accused wanted to drag on the proceedings further in the lower Court and with that intention, the petitioner filed the present petition in the lower Court. Therefore, the lower Court rightly dismissed the petition as it is not only not bona fide but also lacks merits. There is no infirmity in the order passed by the lower Court. 3. Hence, the Criminal Revision Petition is dismissed. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J December 28, 2010 KL HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.2156 OF 2010 December 28, 2010 KL
