RAVI.G vs MARISWAMY — 9/2026

Summary The I Additional District & Sessions Judge at Mysuru dismissed the appellant's criminal appeal under Section 415 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, and confirmed the trial court's conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque worth Rs. 3,00,000/-. The court found that the appellant failed to rebut the legal presumption that he issued the cheque to discharge a legally recoverable debt, rejected his forgery claim (since the bank noted the signature as "illegible" rather than "forged"), and held that the trial court provided adequate opportunities for cross-examination which the appellant did not utilize.
