Case Summary: K Balamurugan v. M Renuka (Crl.M.P.No.6 of 2026) The Fast Track Court at Karaikudi allowed K Balamurugan's petition to condone an 11-day delay in filing a cheque dishonour complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Balamurugan had advanced Rs. 2,00,000 to Renuka, who issued a cheque dated 26.09.2025 that was dishonoured due to closed account; after serving legal notice on 21.10.2025, he was required to file by 05.12.2025 but filed on 16.12.2025 due to unavoidable travel to Malaysia. The court accepted his explanation as reasonable and bona fide, corroborated by passport entries, and found the respondent's non-appearance strengthened his case. The petition was allowed with Rs. 1,000 costs payable to the District Legal Services Authority by 25.03.2026.
