MANISHA CHHABRA vs NISHA — 177/2025

Case Summary: Manisha Chhabra v. Nisha (CS 177/2025) The court granted conditional leave to defend the defendant's application. In this Rs. 5 lakh recovery suit involving a dishonored cheque, the defendant claimed the cheque was blank security for a loan from a third party (Mr. Sanjeev Kumra) that she had already repaid, rather than evidence of a debt to the plaintiff. Finding triable issues but doubts about the defendant's good faith, the court allowed the defense to proceed conditionally: the defendant must deposit Rs. 5,00,000 as a fixed deposit with the court and file a written statement. The suit was converted to an ordinary civil suit for full trial. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
