Hi,
A case U/s 138 NI has been filed against me in Haryana and i am a resident of Delhi.
I have received the summons from the court and am appreaing for Bail in the matter.
Without going into the merits of the case i have few queries to the Learned Lawyers on the site..
1. Is the Condition of providing Local Surety true or any individual can act as surety. I know that in one case of mine at saket, the surety was posted by a person from Bangalore as the accussed was unable to produce any local surety and the MM accepted the same.
2. Are there any Judgements from Supreme Court which have clarified this point. I have heard about some judgement from Supreme Court "ram singh etc" from 1972-73 which has clarfied the same but i havent been able to find the same.
3. Any other judgements from Supreme Court, Punjab and Haryana High Court or any other High Court whch have stated that any Citizen from India can stand surety if the accussed is unable to provide for a local surety.
Thanking you all in Anticipation.
Regards
