    Case Summary: Manoj Pundir v. Sun Rose Trading Pvt. Ltd. (CA 90/2025) The appellate court acquitted Manoj Pundir of cheque dishonor charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, overturning the trial court's conviction and ₹22 lakh fine. The court found that statutory presumptions favoring the complainant were rebutted because: (1) the complainant's representative lacked personal knowledge of the repair/renovation work allegedly covered by the disputed cheque; (2) no bills or documents proving such work were produced; and (3) the accused produced bills in his own name predating the property transfer, contradicting the complainant's claim. The court held that once presumptions are rebutted, the complainant must independently prove the legally enforceable debt—mere inconsistencies in the accused's defense are insufficient.
