Case Summary: CR.R/838/2024 The High Court of Himachal Pradesh dismissed Sukhwinder Singh's criminal revision petition challenging his conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. Singh had issued two cheques of Rs. 10 lakh each (dated 13.9.2017) to Mohan Singh for a land purchase but both bounced due to insufficient funds in December 2017. Despite a legal notice, he failed to make payment. The court found that Singh failed to establish any probable defense against the statutory presumption under Sections 118-139 of the NI Act that cheques are issued to discharge lawful liability. His claims that he had already paid Rs. 12 lakh and that the property was sold to multiple persons were unproven—he neither examined supporting witnesses nor produced payment receipts. The trial and appellate courts' concurrent findings were upheld, and Singh was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and Rs. 32 lakh compensation, with directions to surrender within 15 days.
