JUDGMENT Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. - In the present case, complaint was filed in the year, 2012. Petitioner/accused filed an application on 24.08.2018 praying therein that complainant/company be directed to produce articles of association and the certified copies of the memorandum to demonstrate that the Directors of the Company were not competent to advance the loan, as per articles of association. 2. Admittedly, the complainant is relying upon a cheque purportedly issued by the petitioner/accused. There is a presumption in favour of the holder of the cheque. The proceedings under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act are quasi civil in nature having penal consequence. The legislature in its wisdom has prescribed summary trial of the offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. 3. In the present case, the petitioner is being tried by following procedure of summons case. The fishing roving enquiry is not permissible regarding the competence of the Directors to advance the loan, as the real issue before the trial Court, is whether the cheque, in question was issued by the petitioner and if so, whether same has bounced for insufficiency of funds or not. The question of issuance of cheque for due discharge of lawful consideration will not hinge upon articles of association of the Company or memorandum thereof. 4. There is merit in the observation made by the trial Court that the application has been filed only to delay the proceedings. 5. Consequently, the present petition, being devoid of merits is dismissed.
