Here in this case, this petitioner was convicted under Section 138 of NI Act on a private complaint filed by complainant Shrawan Lal Chakradhari. The trial Court after conviction has imposed fine of ₹2,50,000/-. In default, the petitioner is required to undergo default sentence. An appeal preferred by the accused was dismissed. [2025:RJ-JP:19750] (3 of 3) [CRLR-2489/2019] 8. Till date, no steps were taken to implead legal heirs of deceased-respondent, who expired on 24.01.2020. The petitioner has also failed to submit receipt of deposition of 20% amount in the trial Court in pursuant to order dated 10.01.2020. 9. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the details of legal heirs were not made available to him so he could not file application for substitution of legal representatives of respondent- complainant. The notice of respondent-complainant was issued by this Hon’ble Court on 20.01.2020 and same was returned with the report of process server (Police Constable) wherein son of complainant Naveen has put his signature with his mobile number. Moreover, the informative card about Pagdi Rasam and other programme is also enclosed wherein not only the address but also names of members of family were mentioned. 10. It appears that the petitioner accused is deliberately not bringing the legal heirs of respondent-complainant on record. The details of family members is available on record since 06.02.2020. 11. Having considered aforesaid, no further opportunity can be granted to a negligent person who has failed to take steps to bring legal heirs of deceased respondent-complainant on record to continue the instant revision petition. 12. The instant revision petition is liable to be dismissed for non- compliance. 13. In view of aforesaid, the instant revision petition is hereby dismissed with pending application, if any.
