Arguments on summoning heard.
I have gone through the entire record including the complaint and the documents. It is
alleged that accused has executed the cheque in question in favour of the complainant to discharge his
liability. On its presentation the same was dishonored. Therefore, demand notice was sent to the accused by
the complainant. Despite service /deemed service of said notice, accused has failed to make the payment as
per provisions of Negotiable Instruments Act. Complaint is prima facie filed within the prescribed period of
limitation.
Accordingly, this court takes cognizance of the offence punishable under Section 138 of
Negotiable Instruments Act.
Following the law laid down in A.C. Narayanan Vs. State of Maharashtra (2014) 11 SCC
790, complaint, affidavit of evidence and other annexed documents considered. Accordingly, there is no need
to examine the complainant for the purpose of issuance of process.
Inquiry U/Sec.202 Cr.P.C. is conducted vide examination of documents and this court is
satisfied that there are sufficient grounds for proceeding to issue summons against the accused.
Hence, let the accused be summoned through all permissible modes for offence under section
138 Negotiable Instruments Act on filing of PF/RC. In the event the house/office/premises is found to be
locked/refusal to accept the service/any other contingency the process be served through affixation. PF be

Sayed Babalal H”, AIR2010(SC) 1907, Ahlmad is directed to make a mention on the summons issued
against the accused (by adding separate sheet, if required) that “accused can make an application for
compounding of the offence at the first and second hearing of the case and if such an application is made,
