https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=295805 A complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 was not quashed under Section 482 CrPC because it prima facie disclosed the ingredients of the offence. The accused's defences that the cheques were blank or security cheques, filled without authority, and that no legally enforceable debt existed raised disputed questions of fact requiring evidence.
