    The court convicted the accused (Ratanlal) under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a dishonored cheque. The accused had borrowed ₹10 lakhs from the complainant and issued five cheques of ₹2 lakhs each as repayment security; two cheques were returned marked "insufficient funds." The court found the debt legally enforceable at the time of cheque issuance (dated September 1, 2017) despite the complainant's delayed demand, as the three-year limitation period had not expired when the cheques were presented in 2020.
