    Case Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 294/2024 The Sessions Court dismissed Nobi E.K's appeal challenging his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Nobi had issued a cheque for Rs. 6,93,000 to Soopi for timber purchase but the cheque was dishonored due to insufficient funds. Despite receiving a legal notice, Nobi failed to pay within 15 days. The court found that statutory presumptions under Sections 118-139 of the N.I. Act favored the complainant, and Nobi's defense claiming the cheque was security for his friend's loan lacked supporting evidence. The conviction and sentence—simple imprisonment till rising of court plus a fine of Rs. 8,25,467 (or 3 months additional imprisonment if unpaid)—were confirmed.
