    Case Summary: CC 6977/2024 Court Decision: The court convicted Sureshkumar Gurnomal Rohida under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act for issuing a cheque of ₹15,375 that was dishonored due to insufficient funds. The accused failed to pay despite receiving a statutory legal notice from the credit cooperative society. Sentence: Two months simple imprisonment, plus payment of the cheque amount as fine with compensation to the complainant; additional 20 days imprisonment if fine remains unpaid. Key Reasoning: All mandatory requirements under Section 138 were satisfied—cheque issued for debt discharge, dishonored for insufficient funds, legal notice served and ignored. The accused provided no defense or rebuttal evidence, allowing statutory presumptions under Sections 118 and 139 of the NI Act to operate against him.
