    CASE SUMMARY The court dismissed the revision application filed by accused Raghubhai Patel challenging an interim compensation order under Section 143-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The trial court had directed Patel to pay 20% of a ₹1 crore cheque amount to complainant Naresh Malhotra after finding a prima facie case. The appellate court upheld the order, finding the trial court properly exercised its discretion by considering the complainant's substantial investment in Patel's scheme, Patel's execution of property agreements, and subsequent fraudulent sale to third parties, while noting the interim compensation protects accused's defense rights through refund provisions if acquitted.
