Petitioner seeks quash of proceedings in S.T.C.No.468 of 2012 on the file of Fast Track Court II, Erode.
2. Heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned counsel for respondent.
The case in S.T.C.No.468 of 2012 is one which informs commission of offence u/s.138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The grounds canvassed on behalf of petitioner are that even before the issue of cheque, stop payment instruction had been issued to the bank and that the Court below has no territorial jurisdiction to deal with the case on the strength of issue of statutory notice. Both contentions are devoid of merits and accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition shall stand dismissed. It is open to the petitioner to raise all contentions before the trial Court. All such contentions should necessarily be dealt with solely on merits. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
