Issues: Whether leave to prefer an appeal against the acquittal of the accused in a prosecution under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 should be granted.
Analysis: The complaint and the affidavit in evidence did not present a consistent case as to whether the goods were supplied to Shah Enterprises or to Shah Agencies. The complaint proceeded on the basis that the liability was that of Shah Enterprises, while the affidavit introduced a different version that Shah Agencies was the concern whose liability was taken over. The notice of demand also did not contain a clear averment that Shah Agencies' liability had been assumed by Shah Enterprises. The relied-upon letter did not establish a concluded arrangement by which the liability of Shah Agencies was taken over by Shah Enterprises, nor did it show that the pleaded case in the complaint was proved. In view of these inconsistencies and the absence of a clear factual foundation to disturb the acquittal, no ground for grant of leave was made out.
Conclusion: Leave to appeal was refused and the acquittal was left undisturbed.
Final Conclusion: The challenge to the acquittal failed at the threshold, and no appellate scrutiny on merits was undertaken.
Ratio Decidendi: Leave to appeal against an acquittal will not be granted where the complainant's case is materially inconsistent and the record does not establish a clear factual basis to overturn the acquittal.
