Copy of Judgment

The Judicial Magistrate Court at Mettur convicted the accused Kannan under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for issuing a cheque of Rs. 4,00,000 that bounced due to "Exceeds Arrangements." The court found the accused failed to rebut the statutory presumption under Section 139 of the NI Act through cogent evidence, as his defenses regarding a prior loan transaction and accident were merely suggestions without documentary support. The accused was sentenced to one year simple imprisonment and ordered to pay Rs. 4,00,000 as compensation, with an additional two months imprisonment in case of default. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
