2.

Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner. Perused the application as well as the documents annexed thereto.

Learned counsel for the Petitioner at the outset contended that although the case out of which the present case arises, is a case registered for commission of offence under section 138 of N.I.Act, but however no statutory notice as laid down in the Statute has been issued to the accused-Petitioner.
