This petition<\/p>\n<p>is filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal<\/p>\n<p>Procedure to quash the cognizance taken contending<\/p>\n<p>that earlier, Annexure-A1 notice was issued by the<\/p>\n<p>second respondent to the petitioners claiming that<\/p>\n<p>late Narayana Pillai, the husband of the second<\/p>\n<p>petitioner and father of the first petitioner, had<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRMC 3088\/08              2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>borrowed Rs.1,60,000\/- and towards its repayment,<\/p>\n<p>Narayana Pillai issued Cheque No.984925, drawn in<\/p>\n<p>the account maintained by him in Quilon District<\/p>\n<p>Co-operative Bank Ltd., Thevalakkara Branch and<\/p>\n<p>while so, Narayana Pillai died and thereafter,<\/p>\n<p>second     respondent  presented  the  cheque   for<\/p>\n<p>encashment and it was dishonoured on the grounds<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;funds      in   sufficient,   drawer&#8217;s   signature<\/p>\n<p>incomplete\/differs\/required&#8217;,   etc. Annexure-A3(3)<\/p>\n<p>complaint shows that it is the very same cheque,<\/p>\n<p>based on which a complaint was filed contending<\/p>\n<p>that the cheque was issued by the second petitioner<\/p>\n<p>after the first petitioner forged the signature<\/p>\n<p>therein and representing that the cheque is being<\/p>\n<p>issued in an account maintained by the second<\/p>\n<p>petitioner under the guise of repaying the amount<\/p>\n<p>due from deceased Narayana Pillai and when the<\/p>\n<p>cheque    was  presented,  it  was dishonoured  and<\/p>\n<p>petitioners thereby cheated second respondent. But,<\/p>\n<p>in the light of Annexure-A1 notice, the case in<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRMC 3088\/08              3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Annexure-A3(3) complaint could only be false. It is<\/p>\n<p>also contended that ingredients of an offence under<\/p>\n<p>Section 420 of Indian Penal Code is not attracted<\/p>\n<p>against the petitioners and therefore, cognizance<\/p>\n<p>should not have been taken.\n<\/p>\n<p>    2. Though notice was served on the second<\/p>\n<p>respondent, he did not appear.\n<\/p>\n<p>    3.     Annexure-A3(3) complaint  as   well   as<\/p>\n<p>Annexure-A3(11) final report show that prosecution<\/p>\n<p>case   is    that  under  the  guise  of   repaying<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,60,000\/- borrowed by deceased Narayana Pillai,<\/p>\n<p>the husband of the second petitioner and father of<\/p>\n<p>the first petitioner, subsequent to his death,<\/p>\n<p>second petitioner issued Cheque No.984925, making<\/p>\n<p>second respondent believe that it is issued in the<\/p>\n<p>account maintained by her, when it was not so and<\/p>\n<p>instead of the signature of the second petitioner,<\/p>\n<p>her signature was forged by the first petitioner.<\/p>\n<p>Annexure-A1 notice sent by Advocate Sri.Saiju Koshy<\/p>\n<p>for the second respondent to the petitioners on<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRMC 3088\/08             4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>16.3.2001 falsifies the allegation in Annexure-A3<\/p>\n<p>(3)   complaint.  Annexure-A1   establishes   that,<\/p>\n<p>according to the second respondent, the dishonoured<\/p>\n<p>cheque was issued by late Narayana Pillai and after<\/p>\n<p>his   death,  it  was  presented   by  the   second<\/p>\n<p>respondent and it was dishonoured and being the<\/p>\n<p>legal heirs, amount due from late Narayana Pillai<\/p>\n<p>was demanded from the petitioners. If that be the<\/p>\n<p>case, the allegation in Annexure-A3(3) complaint as<\/p>\n<p>well as in Annexure-A3(11) final report that the<\/p>\n<p>cheque was issued by the first petitioner with the<\/p>\n<p>forged signature of the second petitioner can only<\/p>\n<p>be rejected on its face. On that sole ground, the<\/p>\n<p>case is liable to be quashed.\n<\/p>\n<p>    4. Added to that, there is no case that second<\/p>\n<p>respondent   had parted  with  any  money  on   the<\/p>\n<p>representation made by the petitioners. Even if the<\/p>\n<p>allegation in Annexure-A3(3) complaint is accepted,<\/p>\n<p>money was borrowed by late Narayana Pillai and not<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners. If Narayana Pillai died before<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">CRMC 3088\/08              5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>repayment of the amount, second respondent, in law,<\/p>\n<p>could realise the same only from the assets left<\/p>\n<p>behind by Narayana Pillai with the petitioners, his<\/p>\n<p>wife   and  son.  Personally,  petitioners  have  no<\/p>\n<p>liability    to  discharge.   Therefore,   even   if<\/p>\n<p>petitioners promised to pay that amount and failed<\/p>\n<p>to pay the same, no offence under Section 420 of<\/p>\n<p>Indian Penal Code is attracted. Therefore, even if<\/p>\n<p>the  allegations   in  Annexure-A3(3)  complaint is<\/p>\n<p>accepted, which cannot be accepted in the light of<\/p>\n<p>the case in Annexure-A1 notice, an offence under<\/p>\n<p>Section 420 of Indian Penal Code is not attracted.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, continuation of the proceedings is only<\/p>\n<p>an abuse of   process of the court.\n<\/p>\n<p>     Petition is allowed. C.C.No.432\/2008 on the<\/p>\n<p>file of Judicial First Class Magistrate&#8217;s Court,<\/p>\n<p>Sasthamcotta is quashed.\n<\/p>\n<p>7th April, 2010        (M.Sasidharan Nambiar, Judge)<br \/>\ntkv<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Vijayakumar vs State Of Kerala on 7 April, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Crl.MC.No. 3088 of 2008() 1.
