Judgment
ORDER The Applicant has preferred this Application under Section 561-A Cr.PC, impugning the Order made on 30.09.2024, by the Additional Sessions Judge/Justice of Peace Badin, allowing Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.1403 of 2024 filed by the Respondent No.3 under Section 22-A & B Cr.P.C. so as to direct the concerned S.H.O. to record his Statement regarding the dishonor of a cheque issued by the Applicant and then proceed as per law. Whilst one of the grounds raised is that the impugned Order has been passed in a hasty manner, without affording an opportunity of hearing, a perusal thereof reflects that the same was made after notice to Applicant and hearing his counsel. Whilst it has also been argued today that no evidence was produced by the Respondent No.3 of an agreement regarding the business relations said to exist between the parties, it falls to be considered that the Application at hand is bereft of any denial as to the issuance and dishonor of the cheque. As such, there is no discernible error warranting interference at this stage and the present Application stands dismissed accordingly.
