Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The court acquitted the accused Rakesh Kumar of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act because the complainant filed a premature complaint. Although the accused issued a cheque for ₹5 lakh dated 18.07.2017 marked "Funds Insufficient," the complainant filed the case on 08.08.2017—before completing the mandatory 15-day period from receipt of the legal notice (received 25.07.2017), which is a statutory requirement under Section 138 of the NI Act. The court held that since the complaint did not disclose a valid cause of action per Supreme Court precedent, cognizance was improperly taken and the accused was therefore discharged.
