Hiten P. Dalal vs Bratindranath Banerjee on 11 July, 2001

In Hiten P Dalal vs Bratindranath Banerjee, AIR 2001 Supreme Court 3897, Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that the defence submission that the cheques were not drawn for the discharge in whole or in the part of any debt or other liability is answered by the third presumption available to the banks U/s 139 of the NI Act. This section provides that "it shall be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, that the holder of a cheque received the cheque, of the nature referred to in Section 138 for the discharge, in whole or in part, of any debt or other liability". The effect of these presumptions is to place the evidential burden on the defence of proving that the cheque was not received by the bank towards the discharge of any liability.
