Case Summary: CRL.A/298/2025 (Ramesh v. Nagamma) Court Decision: The appellate court allowed the appeal and convicted Nagamma under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, reversing the trial court's acquittal. Nagamma was sentenced to pay a fine of Rs. 15,00,000 to the complainant (Ramesh) and, in default, undergo 6 months simple imprisonment. Key Reasoning: The court found that once Nagamma admitted the cheques belonged to her and bore her signatures, Section 139 of the N.I. Act created a legal presumption that she issued them for a legally enforceable debt. Her unsubstantiated defense—that her sister-in-law colluded with Ramesh to fraudulently obtain the cheques—was deemed improbable and failed to rebut the presumption. Evidence of similar dishonored cheques issued to others strengthened the finding that Nagamma habitually borrowed money and issued cheques without maintaining sufficient account balance. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
