Act. 3. The submission of the learned counsel for the applicant is that as per the complaint case, a cheque dated 11.02.2013 of Rs.10,00,000/- was given to the complainant, which returned unpaid on 14.02.2013, which was again deposited on 17.04.2013 and it again returned unpaid for insufficient 5. funds. In respect of the said cheque notice of demand was given on 07.08.2013, but no complaint was filed. It has been submitted that the notice dated 07.08.2013 was replied by the applicant denying his liability. Reply has been enclosed as Annexure No.3. It has been submitted that thereafter, the complainant with forged signatures of the applicant presented another cheque dated 17.08.2013, drawn on a closed account, and after getting it dishonoured has filed the impugned complaint. It has been submitted that when the applicant has already denied his liability earlier, there was no occasion for him to issue another cheque on a closed account, therefore, the proceedings are per se malicious and they deserve to be quashed. 4.
