    Case Summary: 400106/2021 Court Decision: Sulfikkar Ahammed was acquitted of cheque dishonor charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act in all three cases (ST 38/2021, ST 106/2021, ST 262/2021). The court found the complainant failed to prove the existence of any underlying business transaction—specifically an egg supply agreement worth ₹21 lakh—that would support the cheques' issuance as debt discharge. The accused successfully rebutted statutory presumptions by establishing the cheques were blank signed documents obtained by a third party (Lancy Fernandez) and misused by the complainant.
