casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Criminal Appeal No. 582/2002 P.K. Manmadhan Kartha's appeal against a High Court order was allowed by the Supreme Court on May 3, 2002. The case involved a Section 138 Negotiable Instruments Act charge for cheque dishonour against Sajeev Raj. The trial court convicted Raj and sentenced him to three months rigorous imprisonment with Rs. 90,000 fine; the appellate court confirmed conviction but reduced the sentence. However, the High Court set aside the conviction based on evidence gaps and handwriting discrepancies in the cheque. The Supreme Court held these factors insufficient to rebut statutory presumptions under Sections 139 and 118 of the Act, set aside the High Court's order, and restored the Criminal Revision Petition to the High Court for fresh disposal with opportunity for both parties to be heard.
