AEJAZ AHMED (Legal Consultant/Lawyer) 20 February 2009
DEAR NITIN,
There can be no legal bar to the simultaneous continuance of a criminal proceeding and a civil proceeding. The legal position is such that civil and criminal proceedings regarding dishonour of same cheque can continue side by side. It is open to the aggrieved party to resort to either of the one or both.
PALNITKAR V.V. (Lawyer) 20 February 2009
Mr. Aejaz is absolutely right.
Nitin (Professional) 21 February 2009

Thank you so much for seconding the opinion.
N.Ramakrishnan (Advocate/ Senior Partner) 22 February 2009
My Dear Friend,
The criminal proceedings are U/s. 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and not under Cr.PC. Simultaneous proceedings under the Civil and Criminal provisions are permissible
Thanks, Ramakrishnan, ADV
