2018 (11) TMI 1397 - HC - Indian LawsClosure of proceedings - dishonor of cheque - whether the provisions of Section 258 Cr.P.C. for stopping all the proceedings are applicable to the proceedings initiated under Section 138 of the N. I. Act? Held that:- Obviously it is only when the cheque amount with interest and cost as assessed paid by a specific date, the Court is entitled to close the proceedings in exercise of its power under Section 143 of the Act read with Section 258 Cr.P.C. and thereafter discharge the accused and not beyond that. It is not the Section but only the principles of Section 258 Cr.P.C. that have been held to be applicable to complaint cases that too only to the extent as enunciated by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Meters and Instruments’ case [2017 (10) TMI 218 - SUPREME COURT OF INDIA].
