ORAL ORDER
Learned counsel for the petitioner, who appeared through video conferencing, submits that he has no instructions from his Senior Counsel and, therefore, seeks an adjournment.
2. This petition was filed in the year 2020 seeking quashing of the proceedings in C.C.No.1924/2019. The cognizance in the said proceedings was taken on 23.01.2019, and while taking cognizance, the learned Judge has also passed an order.
3. Perused the contents of the complaint and the documentary evidence produced by the respondent/complainant. Prima facie, it appears that the accused has committed an offence punishable under
HC-KAR
Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (for short, “NI Act”). The learned Judge, while taking cognizance, has considered the material on record and applied his judicial mind.
4. Hence, the question of considering the proceedings under Section 138 of the NI Act in a petition filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, does not arise. Accordingly, the petition, being devoid of merit, stands dismissed.
