    The High Court dismissed Kovalan's criminal appeal against his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The court upheld the lower court's finding that Kovalan issued a cheque for ₹2,50,000 as security for an underlying loan obligation to KKS. Saravanakumar, and when the cheque was dishonored due to insufficient funds, he failed to repay despite notice, thus committing the offense. The court confirmed his 5-month imprisonment sentence and enhanced compensation from ₹2,50,000 to ₹3,10,000.
