Bonagiri Mallaiah , Mallesham v. The State of a.P., rep. by P.P.
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court dismissed a criminal petition seeking to quash proceedings under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. It held that lack of consideration or debt and non-service of notice are mere defences, not sufficient grounds for quashing the case in the absence of substantial material.
What did the court decide?
Criminal Petition No.2472 of 2012 is dismissed; miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, are also dismissed.
