This Criminal Petition is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.) to quash the proceedings in C.C.No.356 of 2015 on the file of the XVIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, at Erramanzil, Hyderabad, arising out of the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.

Heard and perused the material available on record. This Court is of the view that truth or otherwise of the allegations made against the petitioner can be decided only after due trial. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the proceedings against the petitioner.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the presence of the petitioner before the trial Court is dispensed with except on the dates when the trial Court insists for his appearance. The petitioner is directed to be represented by the counsel on all hearing dates before the Court below.

The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending, shall stand closed. _____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 23.03.2016 pln
