Final Orders / Judgements
The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Tenkasi, confirmed the lower court's conviction of P. Manickam under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque worth Rs. 5,00,000. The court rejected his defense that the cheque was issued as security only, holding that since he received Rs. 26,00,000 as advance for a property sale and failed to refund it despite legal notice, the cheque represented a legally enforceable debt. The sentence of two years imprisonment and Rs. 10,00,000 compensation was upheld. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
