Dishonour of Cheque - acquittal of accused - legally enforceable debt or not - an accused person is presumed to be innocent unless proved guilty and an order of acquittal strengthens such presumption in favour of the accused person but the same rule cannot be made applicable with same rigour while dealing with an offence under section 138 of the NI Act, where a presumption is available that the holder of the cheque received the cheque for the discharge of any debt or liability either wholly or in part.
