Interim Orders
Summary of Case 2857/2018 The court acquitted accused Biju Thomas of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. Though the accused's cheque signature was undisputed (triggering statutory presumptions), the court found the complainant failed to prove a legally enforceable debt beyond reasonable doubt. Bank evidence showed the accused had made Rs.1 lakh in part payments to the complainant, which were not acknowledged or endorsed on the cheque as required by law, rendering the full cheque amount legally unsustainable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
