    Case Summary: Criminal Case No. 57/2021 Court Decision: The court convicted accused Manjunatha under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act and sentenced him to pay a fine of Rs. 2,05,000 (with three months simple imprisonment in default). Of this, Rs. 5,000 goes to the State Government and Rs. 2,00,000 as compensation to complainant H.C. Chandra. Key Reasoning: The court found that Chandra advanced Rs. 2,00,000 as a loan to Manjunatha on 23.10.2020, for which Manjunatha issued a post-dated cheque (No. 153191) dated 23.12.2020. When presented, the cheque was dishonored for insufficient funds. Despite a legal demand notice issued on 07.01.2021, Manjunatha failed to repay. The court applied statutory presumptions under Sections 118-139 of the NI Act, finding that Manjunatha failed to rebut the presumption of legally enforceable debt. His defense that the cheque was given as security for a chit was rejected as unsupported by cogent evidence.
