M/S. Vasundhara Projects Pvt. Ltd., ... vs Counsel For on 28 January, 2014
In an identical case this Court in City Automobiles and
another Vs. J.K.Industries Limited and another (Criminal
Petition No.2666 of 2001 and Batch) held that issuing cheques in
discharge of a separate debts constitutes a separate offence
although they are all offences of the same kind. Since the facts do
not warrant to conclude that series of offences have been
committed in the course of same transaction one complaint can be
filed adverting to the provisions of Sections 218, 219 and 220 of
Cr.P.C., inasmuch as those provisions incorporate a general rule
and are not mandatory. The Court held that there is nothing
illegal in filing a single complaint nor the trial would be vitiated on
account of the same.
