Pertaining to a challenge against conviction and sentence u/s 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, the court observed that the petitioner's defense of repaying the loan amount in cash without acknowledgment was rightly rejected by the lower courts. The petitioner failed to provide cogent evidence to discharge the presumption against him u/s 139 of the NI Act read with Section 118 of the Evidence Act.
