Allahabad High Court:<\/span> In an application filed to direct the Additional Civil Judge\/ Judicial Magistrate to conclude the trial under Section 138 Negotiable Act, within a stipulated period, Arun Kumar Singh Deshwal, J. directed the Additional Civil Judge to conclude the trial of complaint case under Section 138<\/a> N.I. Act<\/a>, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, strictly in accordance with statutory provision of Sections 143(2) and 143(3)<\/a> of the N.I. Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The applicant submitted that the complaint under NI Act was filed in the year 2022, but the trial could not yet be concluded. It is further submitted that as per Section 143(2)<\/a> of NI Act<\/a>, the trial for the offence under N.I. Act should be conducted on day-to-day basis and it is further provided under Section 143(3) that the trial should be concluded within six months from the date of filing of the complaint.<\/p>\n
