Case Summary: C.C. No. 288/2023 Court: Senior Civil Judge & Principal JMFC, Kumta Date: 5 May 2026 The court convicted Ganapati Krishna Ambiga under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque worth Rs. 98,000. Ambiga stood as guarantor for a Rs. 80,000 loan taken by Sulochana Ganapati Ambiga; when the debt remained unpaid, he issued the cheque but it was returned for "Funds Insufficient." Despite legal notice, he failed to pay or respond. The court found a legally recoverable debt existed and applied statutory presumptions under Sections 118 and 139 of the NI Act, which Ambiga failed to rebut. Sentence: Fine of Rs. 1,03,000 (with Rs. 98,000 as compensation to the complainant) or one year simple imprisonment in default.
