Inderjeet Singh Vs Khushwant Singh Jaggi Sunil Dixit
24.09.2025
Present: Sh. Shashwet Dixit, Ld. Counsel for the complainant with
complainant.
Accused with Ld. Counsel, Sh. Yogesh Chhabra.
Heard on notice. On a perusal of the complaint and supporting
documents, this court is of the opinion that there are sufficient grounds to frame
notice against the accused and proceed to trial. The factum of issuance &
dishonour of cheque in question, the service of legal demand notice, failure of
payment despite demand, liability and cumulative effect thereof culminating into
an offence U/s 138 NI Act have been explained to the accused in vernacular. The
attention of the accused has been drawn to the evidence appearing against him
and to each document relied upon by the complainant.
The plea of defence of accused recorded separately.
At this stage, Admission/denial of documents by the accused under
Section 330 BNSS recoded separately. On the basis of the same, the three
witnesses cited at serial no. 1, 2 & 3 in list of witnesses by complainant for same
stands dropped from said list.
This court further does not deem it appropriate/ desirable to try the
case summarily since sentence for imprisonment exceeding one year may have to
be passed, if the trial results in conviction, therefore, this case would be tried as
summons trial case.
Considering the defence disclosed by the accused, no purpose shall
be served in keeping the matter for CE. Moreover, no application u/s 145 (2) of
NI Act has been moved on behalf of accused for cross-examination of the
complainant’s witness.
Accordingly, the matter is fixed for DE in terms of the judgment
passed by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court in
Rajesh Agggarwal Vs. State & Anr.
-- 1 of 2 --
(2010). The same has not been objected by accused.
At this stage, after little interaction with both sides there appears to
be ample chances of settlement in this matter.

the nation campaign by NALSA”be put up before Mediation Cell today itself at
1:00 pm and returnable to this court on 07.03.2026.
