Wherein the Hon'ble Apex Court held that, "Dishonor of cheque - Statutory presumption under - burden to prove - the burden is on the accused to rebut the presumption that the cheque was issued not for any debt or other liability - it is immaterial that the cheque may have been filled in by any person other than the drawer, if the cheque is duly signed by the 56 C.C.No. 12555/2016 J drawer - even a blank cheque leaf, voluntarily signed and handed over by the accused which is towards some payment, would attract presumption U/s. 139 of NI Act - the accused is held guilty of dishonour of cheque for an offence U/s.s.138 of NI Act. In view of the principles of law laid down as above, even if it is admitted by the complainant that, she had written her name and date on the cheques in question in such circumstances also in view of the principles of law laid down in the above decision that itself would not invalidates the cheques in question and it can be presumed that, the said cheques have been issued towards discharge of legally recoverable debt, therefore the defence of the accused that, except the signatures on the subject cheques and has not filled up the rest of the contents in it cannot be acceptable one and for the above said reasons the arguments canvassed by the learned counsel for the accused is not sustainable in law and are not accepted.

In addition to that, it is also relevant here to refer the decision reported in 2007 AIR SCW 3578 in the case of C.C.Alavi Haji Vs. Palapetty Muhammed and another., wherein the Hon'ble Apex court held that " the drawer of the cheque is permitted to deposit the cheque amount within 15 days from the date of his appearance before the court in pursuance of the service of summons on him and in such situation, his defence of non service of the legal notice cannot be available to him'. Hence, in view of the said 23 C.C.No. 12555/2016 J principles of law, even for sake of discussion, though there is no cogent and reliable documentary proof to substantiate the claim of the complainant with regard to address of the Accused to show there is due service of the legal notice on the Accused, in view of settled position of law by virtue of the above said decision of Hon'ble Apex Court of India, the Accused is not entitled to the technical defence of the alleged non service of the legal notice. Therefore, the argument canvassed by the learned counsel for the accused that, the notice issued by the complainant was not served on the accused and the complainant has not complied the mandatory requirements of Sec.138(b) of N.I.Act and complaint is not maintainable cannot be acceptable and are not sustainable in law and with due respect to the principles of law laid down by the Hon'ble High Court of Karnataka in the decision relied upon by the learned counsel for the accused ie 2011 CRI.L.J. 552 are not applicable to the present facts of the case since the facts of this case and facts and circumstances in the decision are not one and the same.
