Icici Bank Ltd. vs Subhash Chand Bansal* on 15 May, 2009
Therefore, the question of jurisdiction is to be judged by
interpreting the facts and circumstances of the case so that the drawer of
the cheque/accused in these quasi civil cases is not unduly harassed by
the complainant by filing complaint at a distance place/state in which it is
not easy for the drawer of the cheque/accused to attend to the cases by
leaving his business and by spending large amount of money in commuting
from his place to the place where the court, in which the complaint is
pending, is situated. In the present case the cheques in question were
issued by respondents/accused persons at Amravati in Maharashtra these
were drawn on Bank of India Dadar (West) branch, Mumbai. These
cheques were presented for encashment by the petitioner/complainant at
ICICI bank Ltd,Raviwar Peth Branch, Pune. There is no plea in the
complaint filed before learned trial court that the revisionist/complainant
has only one bank account that too in Delhi and e-banking facility was
provided to the petitioner/complainant so the cheques in question were
presented in Pune in one of the branches of the ICICI bank. There is no
plea in the complaint filed before learned trial court that the imported
article/goods in question were supplied from Delhi to the
respondents/accused persons or the order was placed at Delhi by the
14
respondents/accused persons. During the course of arguments it is argued
that it is the representatives of the petitioner/complainant who have
deposited the cheques in question in Maharashtra, so the logical
presumption is that the imported articles/goods are also supplied by the
representatives of the petitioner/complainant to the respondents at their
place in Amravati, Maharashtra. What clinches the issue is that in the legal
notice dated 10/10/2009 issued on behalf of petitioner/complainant to the
respondents/accused persons through counsel the petitioner/complainant
after detailing that the cheques in questions have been dishonoured has
demanded from the respondents/accused persons that in lieu of and
against dishonoured cheques the respondents/accused persons should
make the payment of the amount in question drawn on ICICI Bank Ltd
Ameravati (and not Delhi) to the revisionist/complainant within 15 days of
the receipt of the Notice. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is any
illegality or material irregularity in the observations made by learned
Metropolitan Magistrate in the impugned order dated 6/2/2000 in which the
learned court blow has rightly applied Harman Electronics's case (supra)
which is also followed in Subash Chand Bansal's case (supra) and Delhi
High Court Legal Services Committe's case (supra).
