    Summary The 8th Additional Sessions Judge, Rajkot allowed the criminal appeal and set aside the trial court's conviction of the accused under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, finding that the accused was denied natural justice—specifically, he was not provided copies of the complainant's replacement witness's affidavit and his right to cross-examine was improperly closed without opportunity to contest the case on merits. The court remanded the matter back to the trial court for fresh proceedings with full opportunity for both parties to present their defense.
