What type of provision ? Can you explain?

1. In such scenario, instead of the entire case becoming legally stale or case transferred to "dormant case status" the complainant can withdraw allegation against missing director and 138 cheque bounce case can proceed against the available accused-director. There is no bar to it, u/s 141 of the N.I. Act.

Every accused has its own role in any particular case and he is punished accordingly. Even if second accused is allegedly missing, there is no legal hurdle to proceed against first. The second accused can be proceeded with proclaimed offender under the provisions of section 82 of Criminal Procedure Code.
