HC allows criminal petition, acquitting accused of NI Act Section 138 offense. The court found procedural irregularities in prosecution, specifically noting the failure to implead the Society as a party, which prevented vicarious liability. Consequently, the lower court's judgment sentencing the accused to six months imprisonment and Rs. 1.50 lacs compensation was set aside. The accused was directed to furnish a personal bond of Rs. 25,000 with a surety, effective for six months, with provisions for potential Supreme Court appearances. Fine amount, if deposited, shall be refunded after statutory limitation period.
