    Case Summary: 1535/2025 Court Decision: The court convicted the accused, Minhaj Mustufa Bapu, under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque. The accused is sentenced to six months simple imprisonment and fined Rs. 6,08,900 (the cheque amount), with the fine to be returned to the complainant as compensation. An additional two months imprisonment is imposed if the fine remains unpaid. Key Facts: The complainant lent Rs. 6,08,900 to the accused in June 2025 on the promise of repayment within one month. The accused issued a cheque for the amount, which was subsequently returned by the bank due to insufficient funds. Despite a legal notice, the accused failed to pay the amount within 15 days, constituting an offense under the Negotiable Instruments Act.
