Ashoksingh Santramsingh Chouhan vs Jakir Shaha Rashid Shah — 11/2026

Summary: The appeal filed by the victim challenging the inadequate sentence imposed under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act has been kept for argument on maintainability. The court held that appeals against inadequate sentences must be filed by the Public Prosecutor under Section 418 BNSS, not by the victim under Section 413 BNSS, and directed the matter to be heard on the question of whether the appeal is maintainable under these statutory provisions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
