This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed to exempt the second petitioner from surrendering before the Lower Court in pursuant to the Judgment dated 21.02.2025 made in C.A.No.182 of 2024 passed by the Learned XV Additional Sessions Judge, Chennai, thereby confirming the Judgment dated 14.02.2024 in STC.No.2684 of 2023 passed by learned XV Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore, Chennai.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the materials available on record.

3. The petitioners are accused in the complaint lodged by the respondent for the offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in STC.No.2684 of 2023, on the file of the XV Metropolitan Magistrate Court, Egmore, Chennai. After full-fledged trial, the Trial Court convicted the second petitioner for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced him to undergo six months simple imprisonment and to pay the cheque amount of Rs.10,00,000/- as compensation. Aggrieved by same, the petitioners preferred an appeal in C.A.No.182 of 2024 on the file of the XV Additional Sessions Judge, Chennai

and the same was dismissed, confirming the sentence imposed by the Trial Court. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred revision before this Court along with this application to exempt him from surrendering before the Trial Court.

4. Both the Trial Court as well as Appellate Court convicted the second petitioner for the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Without surrendering before the Trial Court, the second petitioner filed this petition seeking exemption from surrender. Therefore, the second petitioner failed to make out a prima facie case for granting exemption and this Court is not inclined to entertain this petition seeking exemption from surrender before the lower court.
