https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=758673 The Calcutta HC dismissed a revision petition challenging the rejection of a prayer for mandatory enquiry under Section 202 CrPC in a dishonour of cheque case. The petitioner, residing beyond the trial court's territorial jurisdiction, sought cross-examination of the complainant after appearing through advocates and pleading under Section 251 CrPC. The court held that the trial magistrate properly conducted enquiry, examined the complaint with supporting documents, took cognizance, and issued summons. Since the accused had already appeared, participated in proceedings, and the complainant was examined, the belated application for Section 202 enquiry filed over a year later at cross-examination stage was rejected as the mandatory enquiry requirement was already fulfilled. en-us Fri, 13 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 17 Sep 2024 17:19:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=758673 The Calcutta HC dismissed a revision petition challenging the rejection of a prayer for mandatory enquiry under Section 202 CrPC in a dishonour of cheque case.
