Judgment
The court convicted Keshav Manjunath Naik under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a cheque of Rs. 84,995 towards repayment of a business loan that was returned unpaid due to account closure. The court rejected the accused's defense that the cheque was issued as a security document, finding the complainant's evidence credible and the statutory requirements satisfied. Naik was sentenced to pay a fine of Rs. 84,995 (or six months imprisonment in default), with the recovered fine payable as compensation to the complainant.
