Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 415/2021 Court: J.M.F.C., Bhesan Petitioner: Sanjaybhai Bhikhubhai Kapadiya Respondent: Nitinbhai Bhagvanbhai Godhani (Complainant) Judgment Date: 15 May 2026 Decision The accused was acquitted of charges under the Negotiable Instruments Act Section 138. The court found that the complainant failed to establish a legally enforceable debt owed by the accused. While the accused issued a cheque for Rs. 5,00,000, the complainant could not substantiate basic details of the loan transaction, including account statements showing outstanding amounts on the cheque date. The court held that presumptions under Sections 118 and 139 of the Act are rebuttable, and the accused successfully raised probable defence regarding non-existence of legally recoverable debt, shifting the burden back to the prosecution. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
