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

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)

accused.

summons issued against the accused (by adding separate sheet, if required) that “accused can

and if such an application is made, compounding may be allowed by the Court without imposing
