    SUMMARY The court set aside a criminal conviction under IPC Section 138 (dishonored cheque) against Sathappan, finding insufficient evidence of criminal intent. The court determined that while a cheque for ₹1,25,000 was issued as security for a medical loan but returned unpaid, the respondent failed to establish the essential elements of the offense, particularly regarding the nature of consideration and circumstances surrounding the cheque issuance. The court ordered the respondent to pay ₹1,25,000 compensation within 30 days, with ₹1,20,000 going to the petitioner as litigation costs, and imposed a three-month jail term if payment defaults.
