https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=419277 Dismissal of a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaint for want of prosecution operates as an acquittal because the complaint is tried as a summons case. Once acquittal results, the complainant's remedy is governed by Section 378 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, and in a complaint case special leave to appeal lies only before the High Court under Section 378(4). The Sessions Court is not the proper forum for revision or restoration against such an acquittal, so a restoration order passed by the Sessions Judge was without jurisdiction and could not stand. en-us Thu, 24 Feb 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 08 Mar 2022 08:58:53 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=419277 Dismissal of a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act complaint for want of prosecution operates as an acquittal because the complaint is tried as a summons case.
