Case Summary: Criminal Appeal 162/2025 Court's Decision: The appellate court set aside the trial court's conviction and sentence against the appellant (Manoj Trading Company's proprietor). The court found serious procedural irregularities: the accused's cross-examination was not conducted despite being afforded opportunity, he remained absent for extended periods without proper warrant enforcement, and the trial court failed to properly evaluate evidence before convicting him under the Negotiable Instruments Act Section 138. The court remanded the case for retrial with directions for proper cross-examination of the complainant, fresh evidence presentation by both parties, and judicial discretion on bail conditions.
