            Dated this the 19th day of March, 2008

                               ORDER

The petitioner who is the complainant in a prosecution

under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 had

filed the privated complaint before the Chief Judicial Magistrate

along with a petition(CMP No.3265/2007) to condone the delay

in filing the complaint. The said petition was dismissed for

default as per the impugned order dated 26.07.07.

2. It is true that there has been some latches on the part of

the complainant. But she certainly did not deserve any

dismissal, particularly when the cheque amount is Rs.1 lakh.

The order dated 26.07.07 in CMP No.3265/2007 is accordingly

set aside and the said CMP shall stand restored to file. The

petitioner shall appear before the court below on 10.04.08,

without any further notice.

This Crl.M.C is disposed of as above.

V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
