Copy of Judgment

Case 113/2023 Summary Jagadeeswari v. Sundar – The Judicial Magistrate convicted the accused under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque of Rs. 5,00,000. The court found that the complainant proved all essential elements: the cheque was issued for a loan, presented within validity, returned unpaid due to insufficient funds, and statutory notice was properly served. The accused's defense that the cheque was stolen in 2017 lacked credible evidence, and he failed to rebut the statutory presumption favoring the complainant. Sentence: Six months simple imprisonment plus compensation of the cheque amount or one month additional imprisonment in default. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
