Judgment

The court acquitted the accused of the cheque dishonor offense under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act because the complainant filed the case prematurely—within 15 days of the demand notice being served rather than waiting for the full 15-day payment period to expire. Although the court found that a legally recoverable debt existed and the cheque was dishonored for insufficient funds, the failure to comply with mandatory procedural requirements rendered the prosecution defective. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
