MUHAMMAD HANEEFA vs SREEKANTH — 500459/2023

JudgementView PDF

Summary: The court acquitted the accused Sreekanth of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding him not guilty. While the court established that the cheque was executed by the accused and statutory presumptions favored the complainant, it found the accused's defense—that he had issued a blank signed cheque to Mr. Suresh (not the complainant) which was later misused—to be probable. The complainant's failure to adequately plead and prove the original transaction with the accused, combined with evidence showing differences in handwriting and the complainant's admission of not knowing who filled in the cheque details, was sufficient to rebut the statutory presumptions, warranting acquittal under Section 255(1) CrPC. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
