    Summary The Mehsana First Class Magistrate Court convicted accused Nihal Badreshkumar Patel under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 for dishonoring a cheque. The complainant loaned ₹2,00,000 to the accused for business purposes; the accused issued a cheque which was dishonored due to insufficient funds. Despite legal notice, the accused failed to repay the amount. The court found the complainant's evidence credible and the statutory presumptions under Sections 118 and 139 of the NI Act favored the complainant. The accused neither appeared to contest nor provided rebuttal evidence. The court sentenced the accused to three months imprisonment with compensation of ₹2,00,000 to the complainant, and an additional three months imprisonment if compensation remains unpaid.
