    Case Summary: ST No. 7598/2022 Court Decision: Thomas Joseph was convicted under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a dishonored cheque of Rs. 2,00,000. The court found that the accused issued cheque no. 242899 dated 02.08.2022 to discharge a legally enforceable debt from a mortgage transaction, but it was dishonored due to insufficient funds. The accused's failure to respond to the statutory notice and lack of credible defense strengthened the complainant's case. Sentence: Three months simple imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2,50,000, payable as compensation to the complainant. In default of fine payment, an additional three months imprisonment.
