Court Sets Aside Summons in Uthappa Cheque Bounce Case
Former cricketer Robin Uthappa was initially summoned to court over a bounced check.
However, a Mumbai court has overturned this summons.
The court found that the initial judge didn't follow the correct procedure before issuing the summons.
Specifically, the judge did not conduct a mandatory inquiry, especially considering Uthappa's residence was outside of Mumbai's jurisdiction.
The court sent the case back to the magistrate to properly investigate the case before proceeding.
The case involves a dispute between two companies over merchandise distribution and a dishonored cheque.
A Mumbai sessions court set aside a summons issued to Robin Uthappa.
The summons pertained to a cheque bounce case.
The initial summons was issued by a magistrate court in 2019.
The sessions court found that the magistrate failed to conduct a mandatory inquiry.
The case has been sent back to the magistrate court for further inquiry.
