SCC 678], this Court has made

explaining the parameters of
jurisdiction of the High
Court in exercising its
jurisdiction under Section
482 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure: (SCC pp. 685-87,
paras 17 & 22)
"17. The parameters of
jurisdiction of the High
Court in exercising its
jurisdiction under Section
482 of the Code of Criminal
Procedure is now well
settled. Although it is of
wide amplitude, a great deal
of caution is also required
in its exercise. What is
required is application of
the well- known legal
principles involved in the

matter.
Rangappa vs Sri Mohan on 7 May, 2010
In Rangappa versus Sri
Mohan[9], this Court held that once
issuance of a cheque and signature
thereon are admitted, presumption of
a legally enforceable debt in favour
of the holder of the cheque arises.
It is for the accused to rebut the
said presumption, though accused
need not adduce his own evidence and
can rely upon the material submitted
by the complainant. However, mere
statement of the accused may not be
sufficient to rebut the said
presumption. A post dated cheque is
a well recognized mode of
payment[10].
Section 118 in The Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 [Entire Act]
M/S Indus Airways Pvt. Ltd And Ors vs M/S Magnum Aviation Pvt Ltd And Anr on 7 April, 2014
4.7 The law on the point is quite clear, as
can be noticed from the decision of the Apex
Court in 'INDUS AIRWAYS PRIVATE LIMITED VS.
MAGNUM AVIATION PRIVATE LIMITED', (2014) 12 SCC
539, it was a case of dishonour of cheque issued
towards advance payment. The appellant purchaser
placed two purchase orders with the respondent
supplier by issuing two separate cheques towards
advance payment. After some time, deal between
parties got cancelled as goods were not supplied.
The respondent supplier tried to supply goods,
but it was refused by the appellant purchaser.
Therefore, a complaint under Section 138 of the
NI Act was made by the respondent supplier. The
trial Court issued summons and it was challenged
by the appellant purchaser before the Sessions
Court. Issuance of process was quashed by the
Sessions Court. However, when the challenge was

taken to the High Court, it set aside the order
passed by the Sessions Court and thereby, the
matter came-up for consideration before the Apex
Court. The Apex Court observed and held that the
explanation appended to Section 138 of the NI Act
explains the meaning of the expression 'debt or
other liability' for the purpose of Section 138
of the NI Act. This expression means a legally
enforceable debt or other liability. Section 138
of the NI Act treats dishonoured cheque as an
offence, if the cheque has been issued in
discharge of any debt or other liability
subsisting on the date of drawl of the cheuqe.
The relevant observations read thus:
Damodar S.Prabhu vs Sayed Babalal H on 3 May, 2010
4.4 With this background, at this stage, it
would be profitable to take note of the law laid
down by the Apex Court in various decisions that
when there are two views possible, appellate
Court is not to interfere, even if, there is a
possibility of arriving at a different conclusion
with the very set of evidence adduced before the
Court. The trial Court after extensive recordance
and appreciation of the evidence, chose to acquit
opponent No.2 by holding that the appellant did
not succeed in proving his guilt beyond
reasonable doubt.
