O R D E R

Alleging an offence under Section 138 of the N.I.Act by a Company, the Managing Director of the Company alone is proceeded against, as the sole accused in C.C.No.1276/2012 of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Irinjalkkuda, through a private complaint. The Company is not made a party in the case. The Company shall be an accused as per section 141(1) of the NI. Act. That omission itself cuts the root of the case. Matters being so, all further proceedings in C.C.No.1276/12 of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Irinjalakkuda, are liable to be quashed.

In the result, this Crl.M.C. is allowed and all further

CRL.M.C.No. 6471 of 2015 -: 2 :- proceedings in C.C.No.1276/12 of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Irinjalakkuda, are hereby quashed. Sd/- B.KEMAL PASHA, JUDGE ul/- [True copy] P.S. to Judge
