#1. Heard the learned advocate for the Petitioner, and the learned A.P.P. for the State.

#2. The Petitioner has prayed for quashing of process issued against him in Criminal Case NO.2096/SS/04 which is pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, 38th Court at Ballard Pier, Bombay. In the said case, process has been issued against the Petitioner under Section 138 read with 141 of Negotiable Instrument Act.

For the reasons recorded in my order dated 13th June, 2005 passed in Criminal Writ Petition No. 213 of 2005 and order dated 21st June 2005 passed in Criminal application NO.550 of 2005, the Petitioner has an efficacious remedy of preferring revision against the order of Magistrate issuing process. Hence, in my opinion, it would be appropriate that the Petitioner to prefer revision before the concerned Sessions Court against the order of the Magistrate issuing process.
