M/S Alliance Infrastructure Project ... vs Vinay Mittal on 18 January, 2010
29. I have considered the submissions made on behalf of both the
parties and have also perused the records. A careful reading of the
affidavit of complainant in rebuttal evidence and cross examination of
complainant dated 25.06.2011 would show that the complainant has
admitted that amounts mentioned in his rebuttal affidavit prior to
February 2008 was given and paid back to him in due course, meaning
thereby, that none of the moneys deposited by him in the bank account of
the accused upto February 2008 were due towards the accused and
thereafter a total sum of Rs. 2,45,000/- was deposited by the complainant
in the bank accounts of the accused and the same was repaid by the
accused to the complainant on the same dates when the cash was
deposited by the complainant in the bank accounts of accused. Thus
admittedly the accused had repaid the entire amount deposited by the
complainant in the bank accounts of accused in due course and even if
the payment of Rs. 98,000/- made by the accused to the complainant on
06.05.2008 by way of a cheque is deemed to have been made by the
CC NO. 1515/12
Vijay Bhola v. Vijay Nand
Judgment dated 12.08.2013 Page 29 of 33
accused otherwise than towards the loan in question, still there are at
least 6 deposit slips between 13.05.2008 and the date of presentation of
cheques in question which, if read alongwith the admission on the part of
the complainant that the accused used to deposit in his bank account and
by way of cash amounts towards the loan in question, would reduce the
liability of the accused under the loan agreement in question much below
the cheques amount in question and as such despite the fact that initially
the cheques in question were issued for a valid consideration but
subsequently i.e. on the date of presentation of cheques in question, part
of the consideration had already ceased to exist in view of the payments
made by the accused to the complainant towards loan in question and as
such the cheques which were admittedly given by the accused to the
complainant simultaneously at the time of availing the loan in question
could not have been presented by the complainant and if presented,
dishonor of the same would not attract the liability under section 138 of
the Negotiable Instruments Act in view of provisions of Section 45 of the
NI Act and in view of judgment of Hon'ble Kerala High Court in Joseph
Sartho v. Gopinathan Nair, 2009 (2) Crimes 463 (Kerala) and of
Hon'ble Delhi High Court in Alliance Infrastructure Project Pvt. Ltd. v.
Vinay Mittal, (2010) 115 DRJ 241. The relevant paras from the aforesaid
judgment of Hon'ble Delhi High Court are reproduced hereinbelow for
