Summary The Judicial Magistrate Court acquitted Mr. M. Akilan of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding that the accused successfully raised a probable defense against the complainant's claim of dishonored cheques worth Rs. 1,50,000. The court determined that the accused had borrowed Rs. 2,00,000 (not Rs. 7,50,000 as claimed), repaid it in full with interest by March 2022, and that the disputed cheques were issued as security—creating reasonable doubt about the existence of a legally enforceable debt. The complainant's concealment of repayment evidence and refusal to produce financial records undermined the prosecution's credibility, leading to acquittal under Section 255(1) Cr.P.C. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
