Triveni Media Ltd & Ors v. State & Anr

ORDER

15.11.2010 This petition has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing a criminal complaint under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. In my view, the appropriate course available to the petitioners is to raise their defence before the trial court concerned and not before this Court. This Court cannot step into the shoes of trial court and look into the defence raised by the petitioners. The proceedings under Section 138 Nl Act being summary trial, this petition, in view of judgment of this Court in Rajesh Agarwal v State & Anr 171

(2010) DL T 51, this petitioo is not maintainable and is hereby dismissed as such. The petitioners, however, would be at liberty to raise their defence before the trial court concerned.
