Summary The Additional District and Sessions Court, Tenkasi dismissed the criminal appeal and confirmed the trial court's conviction of P. Manickam under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonoring a cheque of Rs. 3,00,000. The court rejected the appellant's defense that the cheque was issued merely as security, holding that a cheque issued as security for a loan repayment obligation constitutes discharge of a legally enforceable debt and attracts Section 138 liability when dishonored.
