Final Orders / Judgements
Summary: The Principal Sessions Judge acquitted the accused (P. Jothimani) of cheque dishonor charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, setting aside the trial court's conviction and one-year imprisonment sentence plus ₹30 lakh compensation order. The appellate court found that the cheque was issued as security during a police-mediated settlement of a civil property dispute rather than to discharge a legally enforceable debt, and the complainant failed to establish the existence of such debt, thereby successfully rebutting statutory presumptions under the NI Act. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
