    Case Summary: STC.No.419/2020 Court Decision: The accused M.Prakash was found guilty of dishonoring a cheque under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and sentenced to one year simple imprisonment plus ordered to pay Rs.3,00,000 compensation within 30 days (three months additional imprisonment if unpaid). Key Facts: Prakash received Rs.3,00,000 as an advance for yarn supply on 16.05.2019 but failed to deliver. He issued a post-dated cheque (No.000023 dated 29.06.2019) promising repayment, which was dishonored on 19.09.2019 due to insufficient funds. Despite statutory notice, Prakash failed to pay within 15 days. Reasoning: The court rejected the accused's defense that the cheque was merely security for prior chit transactions and that Rs.1,94,689 was partially repaid. The court noted his insolvency petition (filed after cheque dishonor) admitted owing Rs.6,50,000, contradicting his partial payment claim, and no corroborating evidence supported his defense narrative.
