<h1>Ignorance of Insufficient Funds Not a Defense in Section 138 Cases of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881</h1> In prosecutions under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, it is not a valid defense for the drawer to claim ignorance about the potential dishonor of a cheque due to insufficient funds. The law explicitly disallows the defense that the drawer was unaware of the possibility of the cheque being dishonored at the time of issuance. This provision emphasizes the accountability of the drawer in ensuring sufficient funds are available when issuing a cheque.
