138 ni

dear sir/s .. I am defending a 138 ni case .. last hearing my lawyer has filed for dismissal of the case .. the honorable judge has set a next date for the complainant to object.. does this mean the court has accepted the dismisal prayer.. please note my advocate is a fresher .. that's the reason I am seeking advice from this forum


regards rajesh

dear sir.. the reason given in dismission prayer is that the complainant has made only one partner(me) accused and excluded the firm and the other partner as accused .. the cheque on question is of a registered partner ship firm ..

No sir I'm a partner and the transaction was between the compaiant and the company.. not personal in nature

Rajesh, ideally speaking the firm should have been the first accused and partner or partners after that. In absence of firm as accused in the complaint, the case against you is not made out. But the magistrate has no power to dismiss the complaint once the process is started. So your application will be dismissed in due course. Only remedy is S.482 HC, but since this is a question of law, HC may come up with some fantastic reasoning and dismiss your appeal. Nonetheless it is worth a try under S.482 with HC.

dear sir s

the dismis application filed by us in Jan 2019 is still pending to hear till date after the complainant filed objection . it has been 14 dates and every time I am present I have been given next date .. is it advisable for me to approach the high court for dismissing the complaint under sec 482 despite of the delay . plea has not been taken yet .

the citation we will be reffering to is the S.C judgement between aneeta hadda and m/s godfather travels Pvt Ltd.

ar experts .. i had filed a dismiss application in the trial court which dismissed my application and observes that dismissing a complaint once cognisance is takes is not possible .. I approached the high court under sec 482 for quashing of the same ... high court too dismissed my application stating if the cheque is of a firm the case will be not maintainable but it will be deceided in the trial if the cheque in dispute is a company cheque so the application is dismissed ...
