casestatus.in Summary

Summary of SLP(Crl) No. 1785/2001 - Sasseriyil Joseph v. Devassia The Supreme Court dismissed the special leave petition on 10 September 2001. The petition challenged the High Court of Kerala's confirmation of an acquittal in a cheque-bounce case, where the cheque was issued for a debt barred by limitation. The Court held that Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act did not apply because the underlying debt was time-barred, and the lower courts' judgment was unassailed on the facts and clear statutory provision. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
