Baidhnath Prasad Pandey vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 1 May, 2023
8.Learned counsel further submitted that the loan agreement (Ex.P13)
executed at Bangalore on 16.09.2009, but notarised on 10.06.2010 after the
power of attorney given to PW1 by PW2 to file the complaint on
19.05.2010. The post notarisation raises doubt on the genuineness of the
documents. Thus, the foundational basis on which the complaint initiated
becomes highly doubtful. The Courts below failed to consider that the entire
transaction was a business investment that commenced as a partnership
venture entered between the complainant and her brother on one side and the
accused and her husband on other side and Ex.D6 document in this regard is
not properly considered. The Courts below failed to consider and appreciate
the evidence of defence witnesses is in violation of the decision of the
Hon’ble Apex Court in Dudhnath Pandey v. State of Uttar Pradesh
reported in AIR 1981 SC 91. In the present case, the accused rebutted the
presumption which the Courts below failed to consider. The Courts below
ought to have seen that the complainant miserably failed to prove the exact
quantum of liability accrued. Further the accused rebutted the presumption
taking consistent stand by examining herself and others as defence witnesses

and also by producing defence exhibits. Merely for the reason that the
cheques (Exs.P1 & P2) and signature not disputed and finding that the
statutory presumption under Sections 118 & 139 N.I Act proved the trial
Court convicting the accused, is not proper, which is in violation of the
decision of the Hon’ble Apex Court and this Court. In view of the above,
the revision to be allowed and the judgment of the Courts below to be set
aside.
