JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) ACCUSED -petitioner Dayal Singh is absconding in the
lower court and still he wants an order for admission of his
revision petition against the judgment dated 8.6.2012 passed
by Addl.Sessions Judge, Raisinghnagar District Sriganganagar
in Criminal Appeal No. 30/2008 whereby the learned
Appellate Court has confirmed the judgment dated 21.7.2008
passed by Judicial Magistrate, Vijaynagar in Criminal Case No.
285/2003. The learned Appellate Court has convicted and sentenced the accused-petitioner Dayal Singh under Section
138 N.I.Act, 1881 by one year's S.I. with an order to pay compensation of Rs.5,00,000/- (rupees five lacs) to the
complainant. Thus the judgment of the trial court was upheld
in toto.
(2.) THE dispute in the trial court relates to a cheque dated 26.6.2003 of rupees four lacs but since last ten years, the matter is pending in different courts and it appears that the
accused-petitioner has been able to remain away from
clutches of law since long.
After hearing the learned Advocate for the accused- petitioner, I am of the view that the accused-petitioner
should not be allowed to abuse the process of law. If he has
no respect for the court's order then he is not entitled to seek
any relief out of way from this Court.
(3.) ACCORDINGLY , this revision petition is dismissed at the stage of admission but a concession is hereby given to the
petitioner that if he surrenders in the trial court within one
month from today, then he will be entitled to file an
application for restoration of this revision petition and in that
case if revision petition is admitted, the same will will be
decided on merits.
A copy of this order be sent to both the courts below
within three days.;
