<h1>Supreme Court Convicts Respondent in Cheque Bounce Case, Emphasizes Burden of Proof u/s 139 of Negotiable Instruments Act.</h1> The case involves a criminal appeal under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, concerning a dishonored cheque. The appellant claimed the respondent issued a cheque for a debt, which was dishonored. The Trial and High Courts acquitted the respondent, citing insufficient evidence of a legally enforceable debt. The Supreme Court, however, emphasized the presumption under Section 139, which favors the cheque holder, and the requirement for the accused to rebut this presumption. The Supreme Court found the lower courts erred in their interpretation and convicted the respondent, highlighting the importance of the burden of proof in cheque bounce cases.
