Copy of Judgment/Order

The Judicial Magistrate acquitted the accused Tmt. Mercy of charges under Sections 138 and 142 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Although the accused's signature on the bounced cheque (Rs. 8,50,000) was authenticated, the court found that the complainant failed to prove the existence of a legally enforceable debt, given suspicious circumstances including an outstanding Rs. 32,00,000 loan owed by the accused's husband and the timing of the alleged loan during an active dispute between the parties. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
