All India Reserve Bank Retired Officers ... vs Union Of India And Others on 10 December, 1991
5. The sworn statement and the documents marked
at Ex.P.1 to P.11(b) of the complainant is being treated as
the complainant evidence as per the decision of the Hon'ble
Apex Court in Indian Bank Association Vs. Union of India
and Ors., reported in 2010 (5) SCC 590. The statement of
the accused no.2 & 3 as required U/s.313 of Cr.P.C. were
read over and explained to them, they denied the
incriminating evidence appeared against them and
submitted that, they have the evidence, but however they
have neither chosen to adduce their evidence nor chosen
to complete the cross-examination of the complainant.
Thereby the further cross examination of the complainant is
being taken as nil and so also the defence evidence.
Sri. V. R. Shresti vs Sri. Bhaskar. P on 15 October, 2019
In the decision reported in 2019 SCC OnLine
Kar.2117- V.R.Shresti Vs., Bhaskar.P., wherein the Hon'ble
High court has opined that, if really the accused had no
transaction with the complainant, he would have given
reply to the notice and not replying the same would go to
establish that, the defence made is false and the court
should draw the presumption against the accused for not
replying the legal notice. The decision aptly applies to the
case in hand. Not replying the notice at the initial stage

C.C.No. 18927/2018
would hold no water so far the defence case is concerned
and in this background, the case of the complainant has to
be accepted by drawing presumption.
Rangappa vs Sri Mohan on 7 May, 2010
In the decision
reported in (2021) 5 SCC 283 - Kalamani Tex and
Another., Vs. P.Balasubramanian, (2010) 11 SCC 441-
Rangappa Vs. Sri.Mohan., wherein it is held that, when
once the signature of an accused on the cheque is
established, than the reverse onus clauses become
operative, also aptly applies to the case in hand. When the
complainant has established the accused persons having
issued the cheques at Ex.P.3 & P4 towards the discharge of
legal liability and their existed a legally enforceable liability,
the onus to disprove it, shifts on the accused which is not
been proved by placing positive evidence. In this
background, having the accused persons not disputed the
complainant case by placing positive evidence, I am of the
considered view that, the cheques issued by the accused
persons at Ex.P.3 & P4 is for the legally enforceable liability
12
C.C.No. 18927/2018
and this fact is being established by the complainant by
placing cogent and positive evidence which is not rebutted
by the other side.
M/S Meters And Instruments Private ... vs Kanchan Mehta on 5 October, 2017
13. Point No.2:- For the reasons discussed in the
point No.1, the complainant has proved the guilt of the
accused punishable U/s.138 of N.I.Act. The Hon'ble Apex
Court also dealt in the decision reported in (2018) 1 SCC
560, M/s. Meters and Instrument Pvt. Ltd., Vs.
Kanchana Mehta., wherein It is held that "the object of
provision being primarily compensatory, punitive element
being mainly with the object of enforcing the compensatory
element, compounding at the initial stage has to be
encouraged, but is not debarred at the later stage subject to
appropriate compensation has may be found acceptable to
the parties or the court". By considering the decision, it could
be said that, the time when the transaction has taken place
and the primary object of the provision being kept in mind, I
am of the considered view that rather imposing punitive
sentence, if sentence of fine is imposed with a direction to
16
C.C.No. 18927/2018
compensate the complainant for its monetary loss by
awarding compensation U/s.396 of BNSS 2023, it would
meet the ends of justice. By considering these aspects, I am
of the considered view that, it would be just and proper to
impose fine of Rs.13,87,188/-. Out of the compensation of
Rs.13,87,188/-, an amount of Rs.13,82,188/- shall be
awarded to the complainant U/s.396 of BNSS 2023.
Accordingly, I proceed to pass the following :.
