WEAVING PRIVATE LIMITED FORMERLY KNOWN AS M/S SHEENA WEAVING PVT. LTD & ANR. .....Petitioners Through: Ms. Sarika Jetly, Advocate versus M/S HAWK CAPITAL PRIVATE LTD .....Respondent Through: Ms. Devika Mohan, Advocate CORAM: JUSTICE GIRISH KATHPALIA J U D G M E N T (ORAL) 1. The petitioners have assailed order dated 22.05.2025 passed by the Court of Sessions, dismissing the revision petition filed by them. 2. I heard the learned counsel for petitioners at length, but in the end, it is counsel for respondent who disclosed that final arguments in the trial proceedings have already been concluded and matter has been reserved for judgment. To say the least, such conduct on the part of counsel for petitioners has to be deprecated. For, fairness as a counsel was that at the beginning itself, learned counsel for the petitioners should have disclosed that final arguments have already been concluded and the trial matter has been adjourned for pronouncement of judgment.

Broadly speaking, the circumstances giving rise to the present proceedings are as follows. The present petitioners are facing trial under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, where after conclusion of complainant’s evidence and recording of statement of accused, multiple opportunities were given to the petitioners to lead defence evidence, but the same were not availed, so the trial court closed defence evidence vide order date
