    Case Summary: Criminal Revision Application No. 47/2026 Court Decision: The 10th Additional Sessions Judge, Ahmedabad (Rural) dismissed the revision application, upholding the trial court's order directing the accused to pay 20% interim compensation (₹5,00,000) under Section 143-A of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Key Reasoning: The court found the trial court properly exercised discretion after prima facie evaluating the complainant's case—involving a ₹6.25 crore investment in the accused's scheme, executed agreements for properties subsequently sold to third parties, and a dishonored cheque of ₹25 lakh. The court rejected arguments that the accused wasn't the drawer or that statutory presumption alone justified compensation, holding that the trial court adequately considered facts and recorded sufficient reasons for the 20% award.
