Judgment

CASE SUMMARY: C.C.NO.264/2023 The court convicted Deepak M. under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque. Shivakumar advanced a Rs.3,00,000 hand loan to Deepak in December 2022; when repayment was demanded in February 2023, Deepak issued cheque No.779001 which was dishonored for insufficient funds on March 1, 2023. Despite receiving a legal notice on March 16, 2023, Deepak failed to repay within 15 days. The court rejected Deepak's defense (that his brother issued the cheque) as lacking credible evidence and held all statutory requirements of Section 138 were satisfied. Deepak was sentenced to pay Rs.3,50,000 in fines (Rs.3,40,000 compensation to complainant, Rs.10,000 to State), with six months simple imprisonment in default.
