CMM Digitally signed by DEVIKA M Location: HIGH COURT OF KARNATAKA - 2 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32511 CRL.RP No. 487 of 2026 BENGALURU AND TO SET ASIDE THE JUDGMENT DATED 10.10.2025 PASSED IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.2187/2024 BY THE LEARNED LX ADDL. CITY CIVIL AND SESSIONS JUDGE, BENGALURU, CONFIRMING THE CONVICTION OF THE PETITIONER; AND TO ACQUIT THE PETITIONER/ACCUSED OF THE OFFENCE PUNISHABLE UNDER SECTION 138 OF NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENTS ACT. THIS PETITION COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.P.SANDESH ORAL ORDER Heard the learned counsel for the revision petitioner. I.A.No.2/2026 is filed to condone the delay of 68 days in filing the revision petition and I.A.No.1/2026 is filed for suspension of sentence. 2. On perusal of paragraph No.15 of the impugned order of the Trial Court, it is very clear that though the accused examined herself as D.W.1, but not subjected for cross- examination and inspite of sufficient opportunity was given, not tendered for cross-examination and the defence that the cheque was misused was not substantiated by rebutting the evidence of the complainant under Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Even when the notice was issued, no reply was given to the notice. When such being the case, - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:32511 CRL.RP No. 487 of 2026 the question of entertaining this revision petition does not arise. Even though the accused examined herself as D.W.1, but not tendered for cross-examination and nothing is there to consider the matter exercising the scope of revision and scope of revision is very limited. Only in case of miscarriage of justice, this Court can exercise the revisional powers. Hence, I do not find any ground to entertain the revision petition. Hence, the revision petition is dismissed and consequently, I.A.Nos.1/2026 and 2/2026 are also dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE MD List No.: 1 Sl No.: 13
