Provisions expressly mentioned in the judgment/order text.
HC determined that the summoning order in a cheque dishonour case under Section 138 of NI Act was unsustainable due to limitation period violation. Despite legal provisions allowing condonation of delay, the Metropolitan Magistrate failed to apply judicial mind to the delay or provide formal condonation. The Court set aside the summoning order, effectively halting proceedings, and provided an opportunity for the complainant to justify delay through appropriate legal mechanisms. The petition was partially allowed, with the impugned order being quashed and the matter potentially remanded for reconsideration of limitation issues.
