Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 1729/2024 Court: Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Halol Parties: Sadamhusen Murtujabhai Kaloliya (Complainant) v. Luhar Faisal Firozbhai (Accused) Charge: Negotiable Instruments Act, Section 138 Decision: The court convicted the accused and sentenced him to one year simple imprisonment and fine of ₹1,49,800 under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court directed that ₹1,39,800 from the fine amount be paid to the complainant as compensation. The accused's defense that he had repaid only ₹10,000 borrowed (not the full ₹1,20,000 claimed) and that the check was misused was rejected as it failed to rebut the statutory presumption favoring the complainant under the Act.
