The accused admitted borrowing Rs.1,50,000 and issuing a security/blank cheque for Rs.50,000; issuance and signature were undisputed, thereby attracting the statutory presumptions u/s 118(a) and 139. The accused failed to rebut the presumption: his s.313 CrPC statement and uncorroborated denial that payment was made were held insufficient, and no defence evidence was led. Notice was deemed served. Trial court's compensation of Rs.68,000 was affirmed as reasonable given the delay and loss of use; no interference warranted with concurrent findings and sentence. en-us Thu, 25 Sep 2025 08:37:32 +0530 Thu, 25 Sep 2025 08:37:33 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=92822 HC dismissed the revision and sustained conviction under s.138 of the NI Act.
