This is an interesting case. He has committed severe offence. Move an application seeking initiation of action under section 340 of Cr. P. C. before Judicial Magistrate, wherein he had moved his application undertaking the receipt of the cheques and seeking withdrawal of his complaint. Once undertaking before the court and other time when that agreement partly been executed by you by withdrawing ur matter from High Court, he has got no such authority to take U turn. You shall definitely get benefit of all this KALABAJI on his part.riven
