    Summary The court convicted Dr. Pooja Nikhil Maheshwari under the Negotiable Instruments Act, Section 138, finding that she issued a cheque for ₹10,00,000 to complainant Patel Anand Maniilal as repayment of a loan, which was dishonored due to insufficient funds. The court determined that the complainant properly served a statutory notice, which the accused failed to comply with within the prescribed period. The court sentenced her to 2 years rigorous imprisonment and ordered her to pay twice the cheque amount (₹20,00,000) as compensation, with 9% simple interest, under CrPC Section 357(3).
