Rajasthan HC21 Jan 2022CRLTP/41/2018

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

The High Court of Rajasthan held that when two criminal trials involving cheque dishonour against the same accused and different victims are instituted under Sections 138 NI Act, and lower courts quash the prosecutions jointly under Section 249 CrPC based on identical legal grounds, the proceeding should be treated as one under Section 407 NACT.

What did the court decide?

Amalgamation under Section 407 NACT allowed; quashing orders set aside; single fresh trial ordered.
