Rangappa vs Sri Mohan on 7 May, 2010
17. The decisions relied on by learned counsel for the
appellant and principles stated in those decisions are very well
settled. There is no dispute about it. The facts and evidence
placed before the Court and the circumstances under which the
cheque came to be dishonoured and the plausible and probable
explanation given by the accused will have to be considered.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court considered the said presumption
arising under section 139 of N.I. Act in various decisions
wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Rangappa
v. S. Mohan reported in (2010) 11 SCC 1441, modified the
judgment of Krishna Janardhan Bhat v. Dattatraya G.

that the presumption is that there exists legally enforceable

the accused to raise a defence where the existence of legally
enforceable debt or debt can be contested.

contrary is proved, it shall be presumed that the holder of the
cheque received the cheque of the nature referred to in section
138 for discharge in whole or in part, of any debt or other
liability. Therefore, once the initial burden is discharged by the
complainant that the cheque was issued by the accused and the
signature and the issuance of the cheque is not disputed by the
accused, in that case, the onus will shift upon the accused to
prove the contrary that the cheque was not for any debt or
other liability. So with these arguments, learned counsel prayed
to set-aside the judgment of acquittal passed by the trial court.

said Shivanna made her to come to Kumaraswamy police
station and in the said police station, by force, the cheque was
obtained from her. There was also understanding in the police
station that the said cheque will not be presented for
encashment, but apprehending that the complainant would
present the same, the accused has given intimation to the Bank
to stop payment. Therefore, simply because the complainant
has filed a case, the accused cannot be convicted. Learned
JMFC has considered all the aspects and relying on the
decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of
Rangappa V. Mohan reported in AIR 2010 1898 and M/s.
Kumar Exports vs. M/S Sharma Carpets reported in AIR
2009 SC 1518 and has rightly come to the conclusion that the
complainant has failed to prove the initial burden and therefore,
learned JMFC has rightly dismissed the complaint.
