Heard and considered.
The ground urged by the petitioner is that no offence is made out against the petitioner on the basis of the allegations made in the complaint as the cheque which is subject matter, has been issued by the Cooperative Society and not by the petitioner in his individual capacity.
A perusal of the impugned order dated 28.02.2025 passed by the trial Magistrate would reveal that the case is at a stage of final arguments. Having regard to this fact, it would not be appropriate for this Court to deal with the issue raised by the petitioner at this belated stage. The proper course would be to allow the learned trial court to go into the issue as to whether the complaint as against the petitioner could have been proceeded with in the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case.
While declining to entertain this petition, it is left open to the petitioner to urge the aforesaid ground before the learned trial court at the time of final
arguments and the said court shall deal with this aspect of the matter while delivering its final judgment.
A copy of this order be sent to the learned trial court.
