Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Principal District & Sessions Judge, Uttara Kannada, affirmed the trial court's conviction of Amith Ananth Devadiga under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a dishonored cheque of Rs. 4,74,995/- to Gurukrupa Credit Co-Operative Society for repayment of a Rs. 10 lakh loan. The appellate court rejected the accused's defense that he only borrowed Rs. 50,000/- and that blank cheques were misused, finding the loan documents and cheque signature were admitted by the accused, thus invoking mandatory statutory presumptions favoring the complainant that were not rebutted. The conviction and fine of Rs. 4,76,000/- were upheld. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
