Final Orders / Judgements
Summary The Judicial Magistrate Fast Track Court, Omalur acquitted the accused Raghu of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (dishonor of cheque). Although the complainant initially proved that a cheque for Rs. 1,00,000 was issued and returned due to insufficient funds, the court found that the parties subsequently settled the dispute voluntarily, with the accused paying the full amount and the complainant withdrawing objections. The court held that since Section 138 offences are compoundable and the complainant explicitly consented to acquittal in a joint memo, continuing proceedings would constitute an abuse of process, thereby granting the accused's acquittal under Section 278(1) BNSS. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
