This query is : Resolved
A particular case in Mumbai u/s 138 of N.I.Act was disposed on the issue of Jurisdiction and the Advocate for complainant has collected the case from the court. The case has not come up in the court of Jurisdiction where another case was being heard and which had the Jurisdiction. It is over a year, summon or notice has not been received from any court for the particular case.
Surprisingly a case u/s 420 of IPC has been filed in another court for the same dues under the above case. Technically/Legally is it correct, while the above case is still pending.
Thanks

You have to defend both the cases on merits.
