The court held that the complainant discharged their initial burden by producing ledger book entries showing business transactions and the accused failed to dispute the cheque signature or respond to statutory notice. The cheque's presentation after four months did not vitiate the complaint as the bank processed it and dishonoured it only due to account closure, indicating the cheque was valid when presented. The conviction and sentence were upheld. en-us Mon, 08 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 26 Oct 2024 19:28:48 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=458426 The Madras HC dismissed a criminal revision petition challenging conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for cheque dishonour.
