The Counsel for the Opp. Party-complainant Sri B.P. Mishra, did not appear despite the fact, the case was taken up again in the revised list. It has, therefore, been decided to dispose of this case on merit and no application for re-hearing or restoration by the Counsel for the Opp. party-complainant shall now be entertained. 7. The narration of fact as given above, clearly reveals differences and dissentions during the course of commercial transactions. There is obviously and apparently no intention to cheat from the side of respondents and this manifestly a case of civil nature, which has been dragged into criminal arena with a view to exert pressure on respondents for settling out the standing dispute. 8. The case should not, therefore, be allowed to proceed. The summoning order issued against the accused-applicant is quashed. 9. The petition is allowed. Petition Allowed. ———
