It will amount to defeating the very object of introducing Chapter XVII containing Sections 138 to 142 in the said Act of 1881 with effect from 1st April 1989. - The power of the learned Magistrate to convert the trial of a complaint under Section 138 of the said Act of 1881 under the second proviso to sub-section (1) of Section 143 is confined only to converting the case into a summons triable case - HC
