Smt. Rashmi Agrawal v. Ravi Deewan
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court held that distance and harassment by the complainant are insufficient grounds to transfer a trial for cheque dishonour. An application for exemption from personal appearance should be considered sympathetically by the trial court, and appearance should only be insisted upon when absolutely necessary. The trial court was directed to expedite proceedings.
What did the court decide?
The petition was disposed of with direction for trial court to consider exemption applications sympathetically and expedite trial without unnecessary adjournments.
