K.N. Beena vs Muniyappan And Another on 18 October, 2001
In the written submissions filed by the complainant , the
complainant has relied on judgment of Hon'ble Supreme
Court in K.N. Beena Vs. Muniyappan & Anr(2001) 8
SCC 458 and the judgment of Hon'ble Delhi High Court in
V.S. Yadav Vs. Reena 172(2010) DLT 561 wherein it has
been succinctly held that that mere denial or rebuttal by the
accused in reply to legal demand notice is not enough and the
accused has to prove by cogent evidence that there was no
debt or liablility. Also, the accused has to prove by cogent evi-
dence the circumstances under which the cheque was issued.
In the present case, the defence of the accused, that the
CC No.34249/2019
Shri Arvind Kumar Vs. M/S P. Aryan Art Gallery Pvt. Ltd. Page 20 of 26
cheques were issued towards the proposed loan ipso facto
does not by itself rebut the presumption.
