    Case Summary: Girija K.P. v. Biju K.P. (S.T. No. 471/19) Decision: Accused Biju K.P. acquitted under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Key Reasoning: The court found the complainant's testimony unreliable. PW1 (Girija) claimed to have lent ₹3,00,000 in cash without documentary proof of funds, bank records, or income tax status. Critical evidence emerged: PW2's earlier complaint alleged PW1 had taken the accused's cheque leaves in 2013; prior matrimonial proceedings documented PW1 as having no independent income. The court concluded the cheque was likely already in PW1's possession and misused, not freshly executed for a genuine debt. Long-standing family disputes between parties further undermined credibility. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
