                              JUDGMENT

The present complaint is filed under section 200 of

code of criminal procedure against the accused seeking to

punish him for the offence punishable under section 138

of the Negotiable Instruments Act ( in short referred as “N.I.

Act“).

02. The facts which leads to file the present complaint are

narrated as under :

It is stated that, the Complainant has running

industry of manufacturing all types of engineering

components since 16 years, under the name and style of

Fortune Industries, the accused has running similar

business in the name of “Shruthi Enterprises”. Both

belongs to same district and same community. The

accused involved in the business of rectifier i.e.

programmable pulse rectifier etc. which will be used for

the electro plating process. The Complainant has agreed

for the offer made by the accused to introduce new

technology in his industry named as “Zn Ni Plating” since
4 C.C. 3065 / 2020

the Complainant is also looking forward to imporve their

quality of business, accordingly the Complainant has

entered into an oral agreement to introduce the above said

process / technology in its industry. It is further stated

that, as per the oral understanding, the accused enterprise

has given the quotation for the above said process for a

sum of Rs.15,84,857/- at the first instant and thereafter in

view of the enhancement of the material cost, quotation

has been assorted to a sum of Rs.20,60,282/- The

Complainant has agreed for the aforesaid quotation given

by the accused and the Complainant has paid a sum of

Rs.19,62,000/- to the accused by way of cash and also by

way of funds transfer between August 2016 to April 2018

and the accused has acknowledged the receipt of the said

amount.

It is contended that, since the accused has failed to

provide the service as per the oral agreement, the

Complainant has terminated the oral agreement in respect

of request made by the Complainant many times to stare

the business as agreed. Therefore, the Complainant has
5 C.C. 3065 / 2020

lodged complaint on 16.07.2018 before the Rajagopalnagar

PS against the accused, then the accused has voluntarily

without any compulsion of anybody come forward to repay

the amount of Rs.19,62,000/- and in this regard the

Complainant and accused have entered into the

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 26.17.2018.

Agreeing to the terms and conditions of the MOU the

accused has agreed to pay the sum of Rs.19,62,000/- to

the Complainant and has issued following 4 post dated

cheques.

SL.NO. CHEQUE NO CHEQUE DATE AMOUNT (RS) DRAWN ON
1 820864 31.08.2018 2,00,000/- SBI, Bharatnagar
Branch, Bengaluru-91
2 820865 31.03.2019 3,00,000/- SBI, Bharatnagar
Branch, Bengaluru-91
3 820866 30.09.2019 7,31,000/- SBI, Bharatnagar
Branch, Bengaluru-91
4 820867 31.12.2019 7,31,000/- SBI, Bharatnagar
Branch, Bengaluru-91

It is further contended that on27.07.2018 itself the

accused has given statement before the Rajgopalnagar PS

after the issuance of above said post dated cheques out of

above said 4 post dated cheques when the Complainant

has presented first 3 cheques bearing No. 820864, 820865,
6 C.C. 3065 / 2020

820866 for a sum of Rs.2,00,000/-, Rs. 3,00,000/- and

Rs.7,31,000/- having different dates have been presented

for the payment with the Complainant bankers and all the

cheques were honoured and payment has been credited to

the account of Complainant to the tune of Rs.12,31,000/-

However, when the Complainant presented the last post

dated cheque bearing No.820867 dated 31.12.2019 for a

sum of Rs.7,31,000/- with his banker on 02.01.2020, it

was returned unpaid with a shara as ‘payment stopped by

drawer’ as per bank endorsement dated 03.01.2020. The

accused has issued untenable notice to the Complainant

on 19.12.2019 threatening him not to present the cheque

for realization for which the Complainant given suitable

reply. Therefore on 09.01.2020 the Complainant got

issued demand notice to the accused through his counsel

by RPAD which was duly served upon the accused on

10.01.020. Instead of making payment of the cheque

amount the accused has issued untenable reply on

27.01.2020. On these assertions, it is sought to convict
7 C.C. 3065 / 2020

the accused under section 138 of NI Act and award

compensation under section 357 of Cr.P.C.

03. On presentation of the complaint before this court

have scrutinize the averments of the complaint as well as

documents and thereby has taken cognizance for the

offense under section 138 of NI Act. Thereafter as per the

dictum of Hon’ble Apex Court reported in the case of Indian

Bank Association and others V/s Union of India and

others, the sworn statement of the complainant has been

recorded as PW1and got exhibited in all 17 documents at

Ex.P1 to P17. Having made out prima facie case it is

ordered to register the complaint in register No.III issue

process against the accused.

04. In response to the summons, the accused put his

appearance before the court through his counsel and filed

bail application under section 436 of Cr.P.C., the accused

has been enlarged on bail. The substance of accusation

has been recorded and read over to the accused, he
8 C.C. 3065 / 2020

pleaded not guilty and wants to put forth his defense. As

per applications under section 145(2) of NI Act the accused

was permitted to cross examine PW1. The Learned defense

counsel has conducted marathon cross examination of

PW1. On termination of trial from the Complainant side,

the statement of accused under section 313 of Cr.P.C. has

been recorded and read over to him, he has denied the

same in toto and and wanted to lead defense side

evidence. The accused has entered into the witness box

and adduced his oral evidence as DW1 and got marked in

all 15 documents.

05. Heard oral arguments advanced by both the learned

counsel. To buttress his contention the Learned

prosecuting counsel has relied on following judgments.

06. The following points that arise for my consideration

are as under;

POINTS

1. Does the complainant proves
beyond reasonable doubts that, the
accused has issued cheque
bearing No. 820867 dated
31.12.2019 for a sum of
Rs.7,31,000/- drawn on SBI,
Bharathnagar Branch, Bengaluru
towards the discharge of his lawful
liability of the complainant and
when the said cheque was presented
for encashment, it was returned
unpaid due to shara as “Payment
stopped by the drawer” as per
banker’s memo and in-spite of
issuance of demand notice , the
accused has failed to pay the
cheque amount, thereby has
committed the offence punishable
under section 138 of NI Act?

2. What Order or sentence ?

07. My findings to the above points is as follows;

1. Point No.1: In the Affirmative

2. Point No.2: As per final order
for the following;

10 C.C. 3065 / 2020

REASONS

08. POINT No.1: It is the specific case of the

complainant that, himself and the accused are running the

proprietorship business in respect of manufacturing all

types of engineering components since long time and there

was oral agreement between both of them with regard to

introduction of new technology in the premises of industry

of the Complainant by name “Zn Ni Plating ” and the

accused has under taken to install the said technology for

a sum of rs.20,60,282/-. Out of which the Complainant

has paid Rs.19,62000/-to the Complainant in between the

period of August 2016 to April 2018. However, due to

delay caused by the accused the Complainant terminated

the oral agreement and demand for the payment of money.

Thereafter only upon lodging complaint before the police,

the accused voluntarily come forward and agreed to pay his

advance amount of Rs.19,62,000/- and has issued 4 post

dated cheques and also executed MOU on 26.07.2018.
11 C.C. 3065 / 2020

Out of 4 cheques the Complainant got encashed first three

cheque amount to the tune of Rs.12,31,000/-. When the

Complainant has presented the last post dated cheque for

a sum of Rs.7,30,000/-, it has returned dishonoured due

to ‘Payment stopped by drawer’ and in respect of issuance

of the demand notice, the accused has failed to make the

payment of cheque amount by giving untenable reply,

hence it is sought to convict the accused.

09. To bring home guilt of the accused beyond all

reasonable doubts for the offense punishable u/s 138 of NI

act, the sworn statement of Complainant has been treated

as affidavit evidence as per the verdict of the Hon’ble Apex

court in the case of Indian Bank Association and others

V/s Union of India and others, in his affidavit evidence the

Complainant has replicated the averments of the

complaint. To corroborate the oral testimony of the

Complainant, he got marked 17 documents as Ex.P1 to

P17. Ex.P1 is the disputed cheque, Ex.P2 is the bankers

return memo, Ex.P3 is the demand notice, Ex.P4 is the
12 C.C. 3065 / 2020

postal receipt, Ex.P5 is the reply notice, Ex.P6 is the

also to rebut the legal presumptions which could be drawn

in favor of the complainant the accused has adduced his

oral evidence as DW1 and got marked 15 documents at

Ex.D1 to D15. Ex.D1 is the certified copy of plaint in CC

No.802 /2022, Ex.D3 and 4 are the copy of email, draft

memo of understanding and bank account statement.

Ex.D5 is the certificate under section 65(B) evidence Act

Global Tech Fortune Industries. Ex.D14 and D15 are the

certificate under section 65(B) of Evidence Act and affidavit

of accused.

The learned defense counsel has conducted marathon

cross examination of PW1. Similarly, the learned

prosecuting counsel also conducted the cross examination

of DW1 in length.

10. Before to appreciate the oral and documentary

evidence produced on records, it is imperative on this court

to find out whether the Complainant has proved the
14 C.C. 3065 / 2020

necessary ingredients of section 138 of NI Act before filing

the present complaint.

11. On perusal of cheque at Ex.P1 and return memo at

Ex.P2 it appears that, within the period of its 3 months

validity, cheque was presented to the bank for encashment.

Looking to the date of issuance of demand notice at Ex.P3

on 09.01.2020 and looking to return memo of bank dated

03.01.2020 it appears that, within 30 days from receiving

the bank return memo the demand notice was issued.

Ex.P4 is the postal receipt. Though postal

acknowledgment is not produced but since the accused

has given reply notice under Ex.P5 it appears that only

after receiving the demand notice he has issued reply

notice on 27.01.2020. The present complaint has filed

before this court on 10.02.2020. Neither during cross

examination of PW1 nor in the evidence of DW1 no

question has been raised about the non compliance of

section 138 of NI Act before filing the present complaint.

Hence by considering of these material evidence, I have no
15 C.C. 3065 / 2020

hesitation to say conclusively that the present complaint

has been filed only after fulfillment of the requirements of

Section 138 of NI Act.

12. Much has been argued from the defense side

contending that, at the time of filing this complaint the

Fortune Industry was not in existence and it has been

converted into Glob Tech Industries Pvt. Ltd., by registering

the same on 21.03.2018. Therefore this complaint ought

to have been filed in the name of Glob Tech Fortune

Industries. It is further argued by the learned defense

counsel that, Ex.D12 and D13 have been obtained by the

complainant prior to the confirmation of Glob Tech Pvt.

Ltd., so any dues shall be recovered only in the name of

Global Tech Pvt. Ltd., and on these grounds only the

present complaint is untenable. Per contra, the learned

prosecuting counsel vehemently argued that, since the

transaction has taken place between Fortune Industries

and the accused, the complaint is maintaiable in the name
16 C.C. 3065 / 2020

of Fortune Industries itself. Accordingly it is sought to

reject the contention of the defense side.

13. By considering both the rival contentions and also on

perusal of the records available in the file, it is undisputed

fact that Fortune Industries is the Proprietorship of Ganesh

Hegde the complainant. Proprietorship business a sole

trading business and in order to run such business no

separate statutes are provided like running of partnership

firm, business or company under the Companies Act. To

run a sole trading business having license issued by the

concerned authority, getting GST certificate and keeping

current account in bank is sufficient. Mere closing of

Fortune Industries and opening of the Glob Tech Pvt. Ltd.,

does not mean that Fortune Industries has been merged

with Glob Tech Pvt. Ltd. In his cross examination PW1

stated that, himself is the Director of Glob Tech Industry

and his son is another Director of the same. Under such

circumstances as per the evidence brought on record and

the documents produced at Ex.P11 it can be held that, the
17 C.C. 3065 / 2020

alleged transaction for the installation of Zn Ni Planting

Technology is taken place only during the existence of the

Fortune Industries in the year 2018. Therefore even after

closer of said Fortune Industries by the complainant he

can very well claim the dues of Fortune Industries. The

establishment of new Company in the name of Global Tech

Pvt. Ltd., by the complainant and his son do not prevent

the complainant to recover any dues of Fortune Industries.

Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that the

arguments advanced by the learned defense counsel in

this regard is not sustainable. The learned defense

counsel has produced GST Registration cancellation copy

of Fortune Industries which do not help the accused in any

way. Furthermore, it is argued and contended that before

closer of Fortune Industries the complainant has got GST

certificate in the name of Glob Tech Pvt. Ltd., company and

in this regard he has produced some documents. This

contention also not sustainable as such it is the matter

between the GST authority and the complainant, the said
18 C.C. 3065 / 2020

contention do not cause any impact on the case put forth

by the complainant.

14. Section 118 & 139 of NI Act are two important

provisions and they provides for raising mandatory

presumptions in favour of the complainant until the

contrary is proved by the accused. Even in the catena of

decisions i.e., in the case of Rangappa Vs. Mohan reported

in 2010(11) SCC 441, in the case of Bir Singh Vs. Mukesh

Kumar reported in 2019(4) SCC 197, in the case of APS

Forex Services (P) Ltd., Vs.Shakthi International Fashion

Linkers reported in 2020(12) SCC 724, in the case of

Rajeshbai Muljibhai Patel Vs. State of Gujarat, reported in

2020(3) SCC 794, in the case of Triyambak S. Hegde Vs.

Sripad reported in Live Law 2021 SC 492 and in the relied

judgments of the complainant, a precedent is laid down

that, “Once the issuance of cheque and the signature

thereon is admitted by the accused, the court is required

to raise presumption in favour of the the complainant

stating that, the accused has issued the cheque for some
19 C.C. 3065 / 2020

consideration towards discharge of his legal debt or

liability of the complainant and that the complainant is

the due holder of the said cheque. The burden or reverse

onus shifts on the accused to rebut the statutory

presumptions under sections 118(a) & 139 of NI Act.” Now,

it is well established law that, the presumption mandated

by section 139 of NI Act, thus indeed includes the existence

of legally enforceable debt or liability and it is open for the

accused to raise a probable defense wherein the existence

of legally enforceable debt or liability can be contested and

he shall prove before the court on preponderance of

probabilities, only thereupon a statutory presumption

raised in favour of the complainant stands rebutted.

15. The learned prosecuting counsel has also relied on

the larger bench judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in the

case of Kalamani Tex and Another Vs.

P.Balasubramaniyan,wherein also the presumption relating

to section 138 and 118 has been upheld the previous ratio

of the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Rangappa V/s
20 C.C. 3065 / 2020

Mohan. From the ratio laid down in the above said

judgments now it is well settled that once the accused

admits the issuance of cheque from his account and his

signature thereon, it leads to raise the presumptions that

the cheque was issued as consideration for legally

recoverable debt and that the complainant is due holder of

the said cheque. The defense plea which can be taken by

the accused is immaterial while trying legal presumptions.

However, the defense plea is necessary and to be proved

the same on preponderance probabilities by the accused to

rebut the legal presumptions. In the instance case on

hand the accused has given reply notice as per Ex.P5

thereby he took his defense in the beginning itself. In the

reply notice at Ex.P5 wherein the accused has denied the

very execution of MOU stating that it was got executed

under pressure and threat of local rowdy elements, but no

specific defense has taken in the reply notice as to how the

present disputed cheque along with other three encashed

cheques were gone to the hands of the complainant.

However, during the course of cross examination of PW1 it
21 C.C. 3065 / 2020

is suggested that, the present cheque and other 3 cheques

were taken forcibly. In order to substantiate this fact and

prove the some on preponderance of probabilities the

accused himself has entered in the witness box and

adduced his oral evidence as DW1 wherein he deposed

that, since 2016 there was the business transaction

between him and the complainant. In the year 2018 the

complainant has sent draft MOU for carrying joint venture

business in respect of new invented technology by the

accused. However, the said proposal was not worked out.

He further deposed that, on the basis of complaint lodge by

the complainant under Ex.P8 he was summoned to the

police station and forcibly have taken MOU in Ex.P11 from

him along with 4 blank cheques. In support of his oral

testimony he has produced before the court in all 15

documents. By considering cross examination of PW1 and

cross examination of DW1 it can be seen that, as pe the

oral agreement clearly reveals that the accused has under

taken to make ready of Zn Ni Plating technology for the

Complainant for a sum of Rs.20,60,282/-. It is also
22 C.C. 3065 / 2020

undisputed fact that, the accused has received

Rs.19,62,000/- from the Complainant . The dispute

existing between the Complainant and the accused is as

per the Complainant the accused has failed to complete

the oral agreement and MOU.

16. As per the contention of the accused he had made

ready the said technology in the premises of Fortune

Enterprises and only thereafter he has received its amount.

On the contrary it is the case of the Complainant that in

respect of receiving the amount the accused has failed to

prepare and supply that technology to his premises.

Though during the cross examination

PW1 a suggestion has been made that, the accused has

prepared and installed the said technology in his premises

and the demo was also shown, that suggestion has been

denied by PW1. On the other hand during cross-

examination of PW1 he has stated that, he has prepared

and made ready said technology and it was sent to the

premises of the Complainant through transport. This is
23 C.C. 3065 / 2020

the very contradiction evidence and statement of accused.

Further if at all the accused has supplied task and

prepared the technology and installed in the premises of

the Complainant as per his own evidence he would have

produced the photograph of such technology which was

suppose to have been installed. Even DW1 during his

cross examination has under taken to produce the

photographs but not produced the same. The accused has

stated in his evidence and also cross examination that, the

MOU was forcibly taken from him in the police station

whereas during his cross examination himself has

admitted that, while executing the said document one Sri.

Gopi Krishna was accompanied with him and the evidence

of the said Shri Gopi Krishna adduced before the court of

Commercial is produced before the court. The same is

marked at Ex.P17 and the evidence of the said Gopikrishna

itself falsified the contention of the accused that, Ex.P11

was forcibly taken in the police station. The evidence of

Gopikrishna at Ex.P17 very much corroborates the oral

testimony of PW1. On further scrutiny of Ex.P16(a) which
24 C.C. 3065 / 2020

is the own evidence of accused as discussed above he has

transport the said technology through goods carrier tempo

to the premises of Complainant but not produced any

transport records. Hence the MOU produced Ex.P11 very

much supports the case of the Complainant that in order

to repay the amount received from the Complainant of

Rs.19,62,000/- and for the payment of remaining amount

of Rs.7,31,000/- issued disputed cheque. That apart when

the accused is very much admitting about honoring 3

cheques which eh has issued in favour of complainant,

that fact leads to held that towards discharge of legally

recoverable debt the accused has issued cheque in favour

of complainant. That apart at one point this defense of the

accused that MOU and 4 cheques have been taken forcibly

from him in the police station and at another point 4

cheques were taken forcibly by sending rowdy elements

from his house. If that being so the accused would have

filed the complaint before the concerned police or he could

have file private complaint before the jurisdictional court

for using any force against him for the alleged snatching 4
25 C.C. 3065 / 2020

cheques and MOU. The cheque at Ex.P1 has returned

unpaid due to ‘stop payment order’ received by the

accused, that fact also attract the offense u/s 138 of NI

Act. However, the accused produced his bank account

statement at Ex.D2 stating that, on 03.01.2020 he had

sufficient amount in his account only because of his

making of stop payment order the cheque was dishonored.

Ofcourse on perusal of bank account statement it reveals

that, on 03.01.2020 he had balance of Rs.7,35,000/- out

off amount in his account but since the accused has failed

to prove his probable defense under such circumstances

the said evidence doe not comes to his aid and do not

falsifies the case of the Complainant . I have carefully gone

through the judgment of Hon’ble Commercial Court

produced at Ex.D9 wherein page No.53 para No.96 Sub

para No.3 it is the finding of the Hon’ble Civil Court that

the plaintiff has proved that the above said cheques were

issued by the Prakash Hegde (accused in this case) the

Ganesh Hegde (Complainant in this case) of Fortune

Industries towards legally recoverable debt . Thus the
26 C.C. 3065 / 2020

findings of the Hon’ble Civil Court to strengthen the case of

the Complainant that the accused has issued disputed

cheque 3 encashed cheques towards discharge of legally

recoverable debt fo the Complainant . Thus, from

considering the oral and documentary evidences placed on

record, I am of the considered opinion that, the

Complainant has prove his case beyond all reasonable

doubts, on the contrary the accused has failed to put forth

probable defense and to prove the same on preponderance

of probabilities. The citation relied by the Learned

prosecuting counsel are applicable to the facts and

circumstances of the case on hand. The Learned defense

counsel has submitted a note in the form of questionnaire

but which cannot be looked into. Hence, I answered point

No.1 in the Affirmative.

POINT NO.2:

17. In view of the reasons stated and discussed above, the

complainant has proved the guilt of the accused

punishable under section 138 of N.I. Act It is worth to
27 C.C. 3065 / 2020

note that, the offence is of the nature of civil wrong.

Hence, it is proper to award sentence of fine, instead of

awarding sentence of imprisonment. Accordingly, this

court proceed to pass the following;
