Dishonour of a cheque returned with the endorsement "Insufficient Funds" attracts the statutory presumptions and shifts the onus to the drawer to rebut that insufficiency; where return reasons allege invalidity or presentation after validity period due to merger/acquisition of the drawee bank, court may examine compliance with the proviso to Section 138 and attendant facts before quashing.
