Ravindra Deviprasad Jaiswal vs The Buldana Urban Co-Op.Credit Society,Buldana. — 32/2025

Summary The Additional Sessions Judge, Buldana dismissed the criminal revision petition challenging the issuance of process under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court held that at the stage of issuing process, the magistrate need only establish prima facie grounds, and the accused's detailed defense—including claims that the cheque was merely a security cheque and no legally enforceable debt existed—are matters for trial. The court ruled that even security cheques can trigger Section 138 liability if presented against a legally enforceable obligation, and found no illegality in the magistrate's order.
