Versus

Manmohan Metal Corporation ......... Respondent

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANOOP CHITKARA Present:- Mr. Amit Dhawan, Advocate for the petitioners. **** ANOOP CHITKARA, J. (ORAL) The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing or order dated 15.07.2022 (Annexure P-9) passed by learned JMIC, Jalandhar in complaint bearing NACT No. 3794/2019 titled as "Manmohan Metal Corporation Versus Ravi Enterprises etc. " dated 07.08.2019 filed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.

Given the nature of the order that this Court proposes to pass, no notice is required to be issued to the respondent.

Aggrieved by the direction to deposit 20% of the cheque amount within 60 days, the petitioners have come up before this Court. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would be contended and satisfied in case said amount is reduced to 10% because of the reasons that notice itself is defective.

Be that as it may, without adjudicating the legality of the notice, the prayer being innocuous and the same is allowed.

Consequently, the present petition is disposed of and in the impugned order dated 15.07.2022 instead of depositing 20% of the cheque amount; the petitioners are directed to deposit 10% on or before 30.09.2022 with a further undertaking that they will not delay the matter and will regularly appear before the trial Court. Trial be expedited.
