SMT JUSTICE T. RAJANI
CRIMINAL PETITION No.5882 OF 2019 ORDER:
This petition is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the proceedings against the petitioner, who is accused, in C.C.No.103 of 2019 on the file of the Court of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Puttur, Chittoor District.
-
Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the Public Prosecutor appearing for the first respondent-State. None appears for the second respondent, in spite of service of notice.
-
The counsel for the petitioner submits that the cheque itself is bad since in the column where the amount has been written in words, figures are also mentioned. But, in the considered opinion of this Court, that by itself does not invalidate the cheque, because the figures were within the prescribed column and apart from writing the amount in words, the petitioner also put the figures against the said column. Hence, it cannot be considered as a material alteration.
-
In view of the above circumstances, this Court opines that this is not a fit case to quash the proceedings against the petitioner.
-
Hence, the criminal petition is dismissed. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall stand closed.
