    Summary The District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Ranipet acquitted the accused Rajaram of cheque dishonor charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding that the complainant failed to prove a legally enforceable debt. Although the accused issued a cheque for Rs. 72,20,000 that was dishonored, the court determined the accused successfully raised probable defenses—including inconsistent transaction narratives, lack of proper documentation, invalid Power of Attorney, and unexplained monetary calculations—which shifted the burden to the complainant, who failed to meet it.
