Copy of Judgment

Summary: The Ambattur Fast Track Court acquitted Mr. M. Akilan of cheque dishonor charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Though the complainant proved the cheques bounced due to insufficient funds, the accused successfully raised a probable defense showing he had borrowed only Rs. 2,00,000 (not Rs. 7,50,000 as claimed) and repaid it with interest through bank transfers, with the cheques issued as security—creating reasonable doubt about a legally enforceable debt. The court found the complainant approached with "unclean hands" by concealing repayment facts and drew adverse inferences from the complainant's refusal to produce financial records. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
