    SUMMARY The court convicted respondent PARMAR VRAJESH KAUSHIKBHAI under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (dishonor of cheque for insufficient funds). The petitioner NITABEN DINESHBHAI LAHERU had given the respondent a cheque for ₹4,50,000 toward a debt/liability, which was dishonored by the bank. The court found all statutory requirements met: the cheque was presented timely, a written demand notice was served within 30 days of dishonor, and the respondent failed to make payment within 15 days of receiving the notice. The respondent did not effectively rebut the presumptions under Sections 118 and 139 of the Act regarding the debt/liability. The court sentenced the respondent to one year simple imprisonment and imposed a fine of ₹4,50,000 (with additional imprisonment if unpaid).
