Case Summary: C.C.No.125/2025 Court Decision: The respondent (Govindbhai Ranchhodbhai Dhapa) was convicted under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring two checks totaling ₹2,00,000 issued to petitioner Bharatbhai Dhirubhai Dhundhlava as repayment of loaned funds. Court sentenced respondent to one year simple imprisonment, fine of ₹2,00,000 with additional fine of ₹4,00,000 (double the check amount), plus 9% annual interest on ₹2,00,000 to petitioner. Key Reasoning: All statutory elements under Section 138 NI Act were established: cheque drawn on account, presented for debt discharge, returned unpaid ("Funds Insufficient"), written demand notice issued, and non-payment within 15 days. Respondent's defense claiming no transaction with petitioner was rejected as incredible against documentary evidence. Respondent failed to honorably discharge liability despite legal notice.
