The court acquitted the accused of cheque bounce charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding that the dishonored cheque was invalid because it was issued from a bank account after the bank's merger, rendering the cheque leaves invalid post-merger. Following the Allahabad High Court precedent, the court held that cheques from merged banks cannot attract liability under Section 138 when dishonored with "Invalid after Bank Merged" endorsement.
