Final Orders / Judgements
Case Summary: C.C.No.1387/2022 Court Decision: The Civil Judge found Smt. Sandhya Ramanath Choudhari guilty under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque of ₹96,498 issued on February 8, 2022. The accused, acting as surety for a loan, issued the cheque toward loan repayment, which bounced due to insufficient funds; despite legal notice, she failed to pay. Sentence: 6 months simple imprisonment plus ₹1,25,000 fine (₹1,20,000 as compensation to complainant), with 6 months additional imprisonment in default of fine payment. The court rejected the accused's defense as she provided no evidence despite multiple opportunities and her uncontested signature on the cheque invoked statutory presumptions favoring the complainant.
