Copy of Judgment

The Judicial Magistrate Fast Track Court in Ambattur acquitted Mr. M. Akilan of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding that while the accused drew cheques for Rs. 1,50,000 that bounced due to insufficient funds, he successfully rebutted the statutory presumption of debt by proving he had already repaid Rs. 2,79,000 (principal plus interest) through bank transfers. The court held that the complainant concealed the repayment facts and approached the court with "unclean hands," creating serious doubts about whether a legally enforceable debt existed at the time the cheques were presented. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
