Notice to the proposed accused not received back.
In view of the recent judgment passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in
Sanjabij Tari Vs. Kishore S. Borcar & Anr (2025) SC 952 , this Court proceeds further
with the matter as otherwise also issuance of notice in pre-cognizance stage has to be
dispensed with.
The case is at the stage of orders on summoning of a complaint regarding
the commission of an offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument
Act, 1861.

summoning of accused. Record perused.
Complainant has filed the pre-summoning evidence by way of affidavit
along with the relevant documents including the dishonoured cheque, bank return
memo, legal notice sent to the accused and proof of sending the legal notice.
All the statutory requirements under NI Act are complied with. The present
complaint case is filed within limitation. After perusal of the entire record, this Court is
of the considered opinion that prima facie case punishable U/s 138 of NI Act is made out
against the accused. I, therefore, take cognizance of the said offence.
Following the law laid down in
A.C. Narayanan Vs. State of Maharashtra
& Anr. (2014) 11 SCC 790, complaint, affidavit of evidence and documents considered.
Upon perusal of the documents on record, this court is of the prima facie
