Case Summary: ST 648/2023 - Padmanabhan v. Pookkunji Koya Decision: The court convicted Pookkunji Koya under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing dishonored cheques.

Key Facts: Padmanabhan gave Koya Rs. 1,26,000 to obtain a fitness certificate for his school. When Koya failed, he issued two cheques (Rs. 63,000 each) dated March 14, 2023, which were dishonored due to insufficient funds.
