Case Summary: 400262/2021 Court: Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kollam, Kerala Parties: James George (Complainant) v. Sulfikar Ahammed (Accused) Offence: Section 138, Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 Decision: Acquitted (April 30, 2026) Summary The accused was acquitted of cheque bounce charges involving three dishonoured cheques worth ₹16,00,000. The complainant alleged a business transaction for supplying 3,00,000 eggs at ₹21,00,000, claiming the accused issued post-dated cheques to secure payment but dishonoured them. The court found no convincing documentary evidence of the alleged egg supply transaction—the complainant admitted having no delivery notes, bills, or account details despite claiming a ₹30,00,000 transaction during COVID lockdown. The defence successfully proved the cheques were blank cheques misused after settlement of an unrelated property dispute, rebutting presumptions under Sections 118(a) and 139 of the NI Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
