Hello,

The court can dismiss the complaint filed u/s. 138 of NI act. if it has no merits as per law.

If partnership firm has issued cheque through it's partner then it is without arraying partnership firm as accused complaint is not maintainable and court can't take cognizance of offence against only partner and dismiss the complaint.

the court has taken cognizance .. and I(accused) have sumitted an application to dismiss the same as te plea also is not recorded yet .. orders awaited after hearing both the sides .. but I was told that the jmfc has no power to dismiss a complaint since cognizance is already taken.

Challenge the cognizance order by filing quash petition u/s 482 of Cr.p.c .You will get the relief.
