Counsel for the petitioner submits that both the petitioner and respondent are residents of Yamunanagar, however the cheque was presented initially in Ambala and it was dis-honoured because of insufficient funds. After some time, within the period of validity, the same cheque was presented in Panchkula by opening account there. The reason for which the cheque was presented in Panchkula is that nephew of the complainant is practising lawyer in Panchkula Court.

On a query that whether the petitioner would be willing to go for mediation to settle the matter. To this, counsel for the petitioner submits that at the first instance, mediation efforts should be made at Yamunanagar and he is not averse to settling the dispute in mediation.
