ORDER 30.06.2025
The petitioner is aggrieved of order dated 26.05.2025 passed by learned 4th Additional Munsiff, (JMIC), Jammu, [“the trial Court”], primarily on the ground that the respondent filed a complaint against him, under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, regarding dishonour of Cheque No. 000004 dated 04.06.2025 for an amount of Rs.10 lakhs, however learned trial court has taken cognizance with respect to the issuance of two cheques for an amount of Rs. 40 lakhs and Rs. 10 lakhs. Mr. S. S. Ahmed, learned counsel for the respondent has fairly conceded that the cognizance order, impugned the present petitioner, to this extent is bad and is liable to be quashed.
In view of the above, the present petition is allowed and impugned order dated 26.05.2025 is set aside. As a result, the matter is remanded to the trial Court with a direction that it shall draw a fresh cognizance order in accordance with law.
