                 Dated this the 19th day of June, 2008.
                                  ORDER

The petitioner, who is the complainant in S.T. No. 618 of 2005

on the file of the Judicial First Class Magistrate-IV, Kochi, which was a

prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act,

involving a cheque for Rs.74,000/-, challenges the order dated

22.11.2007 passed by the Magistrate dismissing the complaint under

Section 204(4) Cr.P.C for the default in the appearance of the

complainant and also for the failure to take steps.

2. There might have been some latches on the part of the

petitioner/complainant in taking steps. But, he certainly did not

deserve a dismissal of his complaint. Accordingly, S.T. No. 618 of

2005 shall stand restored to file. The petitioner shall appear before

the court below without any further notice on 30.06.2008 by which

time he shall have taken all necessary steps for the further progress of

the case.

This Crl.R.P. is disposed of as above.

Dated this the 19th day of June, 2008.

V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE.
