The Branch Manager filed criminal complaints in January 1995 but received power of attorney only in June 1995, with no retrospective ratification clause. The court held that without proper authorization at the time of filing, the complaints lacked locus standi. Following Supreme Court precedent in Chandrappa, the HC ruled that where two reasonable conclusions are possible from evidence, the appellate court should not disturb trial court's acquittal finding. The appeal was dismissed as no perversity was demonstrated in the trial court's judgment. en-us Tue, 21 May 2024 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 24 Jun 2024 14:51:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=754430 The Punjab & Haryana HC dismissed an appeal against acquittal in a dishonour of cheque case.
