Court Summary The Special Judicial Magistrate (NI Act), Nathwara, convicted the accused Vajir Singh under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a cheque worth ₹15,00,000 that was returned unpaid due to insufficient funds. The court found that the complainant had established the essential elements of the offense—the cheque was issued by the accused for discharge of debt, presented within the statutory period, and dishonored. Although the accused raised a defense claiming he had returned part of the amount in cash before the cheque bounce, the court rejected this as insufficient to rebut the legal presumption under Sections 118(a) and 139 of the NI Act, noting the cheque amount exceeded any claimed repayment.
