Reversal of an initially credited cheque amount did not negate liability where the amount ultimately remained unpaid and statutory notice was not complied with, so the ingredients of Section 138 were disclosed. Proceedings against the non-signatory petitioner also were not quashed, as the complaint contained specific allegations linking him to the transaction and issuance of the cheque from a joint account. The summoning order and complaint were upheld. en-us Wed, 25 Aug 2021 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 02 Sep 2021 08:59:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=411743 Alleged alteration in a signed cheque could not justify quashing under Section 482 CrPC because who made the alteration was a disputed question of fact requiring evidence, and the statutory presumption under the Negotiable Instruments Act remained unrebutted at that stage.
