SOLANKI MANZILKUMAR RATILAL vs RATHOD RAJESHKUMAR PRAVINBHAI Advocate - J S OJHA — 19/2026

Court Decision Summary The Sessions Judge dismissed the appellant's criminal appeal against his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court confirmed the trial court's findings that the accused obtained a ₹2,00,000 hand loan, issued a cheque that bounced due to insufficient funds, and failed to make payment despite receiving a legal demand notice. The court upheld the conviction and sentence of one-year imprisonment with ₹2,00,000 compensation, noting the accused deliberately absented himself from trial proceedings despite ample opportunities to cross-examine the complainant and present his defense.
