    CASE SUMMARY: Criminal Appeal 121/2025 Court Decision: The District and Sessions Judge, Karur dismissed the appeal and confirmed the conviction of J. John Lobo and Roselin K. Thomas under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Both were sentenced to one year simple imprisonment and ordered to pay ₹5,00,000 jointly as compensation to R. Periyasamy. Key Reasoning: The appellants failed to rebut statutory presumptions under Section 139 of the NI Act. They did not deny their signatures on the dishonored cheque, offered no credible defense, and failed to respond to the statutory notice. The court found the complainant had sufficiently proved the debt through documentary evidence (promissory note and cheque), and the appellants' vague allegations about cheque theft lacked supporting proof or timely action.
