Ashok Kumar, J.  <\/p>\n<p> 1. This petition has been filed to drop all further proceedings against  the petitioner  in  C.C. No. 844 of 2003. The petitioner was prosecuted by the respondent for the alleged offence under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act on the ground that a cheque for a sum of Rs. 20,000\/- issued by the respondent bounced when presented for collection. The petitioner  filed a discharge petition before the trial Court but  the same was dismissed. Aggrieved over the said order, this revision has been filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. Learned counsel for the revision petitioner would contend that the statutory notice issued by the counsel for the respondent\/complainant contained the averment  adding Rs. 200\/- more than the   cheque amount.  In that regard, he relied on the judgement of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court reported in 2000(2) Supreme Court Cases 380  (Suman Sethi Vs Ajay K Churiwal and another ) . A perusal of the notice would clearly show that the demand has been made for the cheque amount of Rs. 20,000\/- and also Rs. 200\/- being the interest which is mentioned distinctly in the notice itself. The complaint  has been filed only for the cheque  amount of Rs. 20,000\/- In the case cited supra  the Supreme Court has held that  in the notice if the demand has been made for the cheque amount and other claims such as interest and other damages, also mentioned separately in the notice, the same cannot be  treated as bad. If however, an omnibus demand  is made in the notice without  mentioning the cheque amount, the notice will be regarded as bad. In the present case, the cheque amount has been clearly stated and the additional amount of interest was also mentioned but the complaint  is filed only for the  cheque amount. Therefore, the judgement cited  by the learned counsel for the revision petitioner referred to above  itself is against the contention made by him.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.  Learned counsel for the revision petitioner also relied upon 2003(4) <a href=\"\/doc\/1265791\/\">C.T.C.252 (K.R. Indira vs. Dr. G. Adinarayana)<\/a> wherein   the Supreme Court has held  in that case that   the Legal statutory notice does not  meet the requirement of law and the essential ingredients of Clause (b) of Proviso to Section 138 was not complied with. That was a case in which there was no specific demand for payment of  the cheque amount and notice was issued by the complainant not for the cheque amount but for the loan amount. In the present case,  the cheque amount has been distinctly mentioned and the complaint has been filed  for payment of the  cheque amount  which is the subject matter of the case.\n<\/p>\n<p>  4. Therefore, the contention of the learned counsel for the revision petitioner fails. Hence, the Civil revision case is dismissed. Consequently, Crl. M.P. Nos. 760  and 761 of 2004 are also dismissed. Since, the case is pending for more than one year, learned Judicial Magistrate is directed to dispose of the case within a period of six months from the date of the order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court Raghumayee Raman vs R.
