casestatus.in Summary

CASE SUMMARY: Rajaram v. Maruthachalam (Crl.A. No. 001978/2013) The Supreme Court reversed the High Court's conviction of appellant Rajaram under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, finding he successfully rebutted the presumption of debt using credible evidence of the complainants' limited financial capacity. However, the Court upheld modified civil decrees restricting recovery to amounts already deposited (Rs. 7 lakh and Rs. 2 lakh), awarding respondents 50% thereof with accrued interest.
