Initial application preferred at the behest of the petitioner does not contained any specific provision of Cr.P.C. and if in any case, the grounds whatsoever has been taken up for challenging the entire proceedings in pursuance to Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is liable to be placed before the same proceedings, wherein the summoning orders have already been put under challenge by the petitioner. 8. In view of aforementioned facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is hereby dismissed with liberty extended in favour of the petitioner to supplement all these grounds in the proceedings pending, wherein the summoning orders are still to be adjudicated finally by coordinate Bench of this Court under proceedings of Application U/S 482 No. 26447 of 2022.
