https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=348687 A writ petition under Article 226 read with Section 482 CrPC seeking expeditious trial of a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaint was found unwarranted. The Court noted the statutory emphasis on speedy disposal of cheque dishonour cases and the Supreme Court's directions for prompt trial, but balanced this against heavy Magistracy pendency and the need to follow the normal roster and diary of pending matters. It also recorded that delay had already occurred because of transfer and non-service of summons, and that no special circumstance justified invoking inherent jurisdiction. The petition was dismissed and no priority hearing or other interference was granted. en-us Mon, 18 Sep 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 09:12:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=348687 A writ petition under Article 226 read with Section 482 CrPC seeking expeditious trial of a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaint was found unwarranted.
