At 3pm
At this stage, Sh. Ritik Chandra, Proxy counsel for the accused
alongwith accused have entered appearance.
NBWs issued in the pre lunch session are cancelled in light of
physical appearance of the accused.
This court is of the view that there is prima-facie case against
the accused person(s) for offence punishable under Section 138 r/w 141 N.
I. Act and the contentions of defence can only be decided by way of trial.
Substance of allegations against the accused have been
explained to him in vernacular. Notice U/s 274BNSS served upon accused
to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial and further disclosed his
defence. Plea of defence of accused is recorded. Statement of accused
regarding admission/ denial of documents also got recorded. The accused
has admitted the dishonor memo and postal receipts of legal demand notice,
accordingly, witnesses at Sr.No. 2 and 3 i.e. concerned clerk/ official from
concerned bank are dropped.
In view of the defences disclosed by the accused in notice
of Accusation framed U/s 274 BNSS, I do not deem it fit to try the case
summarily. As such, I am inclined to grant opportunity to accused to cross
examine the witnesses of the complainant side, specially keeping in view the
fact that if the trial results in conviction imprisonment exceeding one year
may have to be passed, as such, this complaint would be tried as summons
trial case. Accordingly, the requirement of filing application u/s 145(2) NI
Act is dispensed with. The accused is granted opportunity to cross examine
the witnesses of the complainant.
Accused is directed to furnish bail bonds on the NDOH.
Now to come up for CE/ furnishing of bail bonds on date
already fixed in the first call i.e. 26.11.26.
