The HC quashed the summoning order and entire proceedings u/s 482 CrPC, allowing the application. It held that for an offence u/s 138 NI Act, the dishonoured cheque must represent a legally enforceable debt on the date of issuance and maturity. Since part payment was already made, the complaint u/s 138 could not be entertained. The complainant concealed the lawyer-client relationship and filed a malicious prosecution.
