C482 102 of 2006 Honb’le P.C. Pant, J Shri Arvind Vashist, Advocate, present for the petitioner. Shri M.A. Khan, Brief Holder, present for the State. By means of this petition moved under section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure (for short Cr.P.C) 1973, the petitioner has sought quashing of the proceedings of criminal case no. 418 of 2003, Vinod Kumar vs. Alakhnanda Plantation Ltd., under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, pending in the court of Special Judicial Magistrate (CBI) Dehradun. Learned counsel for the petitioner argued that in the criminal compliant the complainant has only prayed for direction to the petitioner to make payment of the amount mentioned in the cheque dishonoured, and to make payment of damages. Perusal of the criminal complaint shows that the complainant has prayed not only for recovery of the amount but, also for punishing the petitioner with fine under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. As such, it cannot be said that the defect in the criminal complaint is such which requires interference of this Court under section 482 of Cr.P.C. For the reasons as discussed above this Court finds no force in the petition. Accordingly, the petition under section 482 of Cr.P.C, is dismissed. Registry is directed to inform the court concerned.
