Judgment

Case Summary: CC 218/2023 Court Decision: The court convicted Gajanan Anup Naik under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a bounced cheque worth Rs.80,176/-. The accused was sentenced to pay a fine of Rs.85,176/-, with Rs.80,176/- as compensation to the complainant bank, or face one year simple imprisonment in default. Key Facts: Naik borrowed Rs.55,000/- from Godavari Souharda Credit Cooperative Ltd and issued cheque no. 003480 in repayment, which was dishonoured with "Account Closed" endorsement. Despite legal notice, he failed to pay. Reasoning: The court found a legally recoverable debt existed, the cheque was issued to discharge this debt, and it was returned due to insufficient funds. The accused's absence during trial and failure to cross-examine witnesses or present defence strengthened the prosecution's case. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
