Haryana Petrochemicals Ltd. & Anr. vs Indian Petrochemicals Ltd. Anr. on 30 October, 2014
55. I may refer to another decision of this Court in Haryana
Petrochemicals Ltd. & Anr. v. Indian Petrochemicals Ltd. &
Anr., 2015 (1) JCC (NI) 11. The petitioner, Haryana
Petrochemicals had issued cheques in lieu of supply of
chemicals by the respondent Indian Petrochemicals, which had
been dishonoured upon presentation. The learned Magistrate
had convicted the petitioners under Section 138 of NI Act. The
said judgment was endorsed by the learned Sessions Judge.
Consequently, a revision has been preferred before the High
Court. The primary submission of the petitioner was that the
cheques in question were security cheques, as it was a regular
trade practice that after the goods had been received by the
petitioner company, fresh cheques in lieu of the security
cheques were issued by the petitioners. It was argued that the
security cheques, by themselves, would not constitute a legal
Crl. L.P. 558/2014 Page 13 of 31
debt or liability of the petitioner towards the complainant. The
Court observed that the manner in which the parties transacted
their business was, that the complainant company would send
the goods along with the invoices as per the value of the goods.
The petitioner/purchaser enjoyed a credit facility, i.e. the
payment was not to be made immediately upon receipt of goods.
For this reason, the security cheques were issued by the
petitioner at the time of taking delivery of the goods. However,
they were to be returned upon receipt of payment by the
respondent/seller. In case payment was not forthcoming, the
security cheques were considered as consideration towards
supply of goods, and the respondent would bank the cheques.
The cheques in question had similarly been banked since
payment was not otherwise made by the petitioner/accused on
the expiry of the credit period.
M.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani vs State Of Kerala & Anr on 4 July, 2006
"32. The accused has placed reliance on M.S.Narayana
Menon (supra). In this case, the cheque had been issued by the
appellant - who was transacting shares with the share
broker/second respondent/complainant. The appellant/accused
disputed the statement of account relied upon by the
complainant, on the basis whereof it was claimed that the
cheque amount was due and outstanding. The Supreme Court
examined the nature of the transactions undertaken between the
Crl. L.P. 558/2014 Page 14 of 31
parties in the light of the evidence before it. The Supreme
Court held that the complainant had not been able to explain
the discrepancies in his books of accounts. The complainant
did not bring on record any material to show that the parties
had transactions, other than those which had been entered into
through the Cochin Stock Exchange. The Supreme Court held
that the so called acknowledgement, as correct, of some of the
statements of account was not enough since, admittedly, there
was no acknowledgement in respect of five statements of
accounts. After examining the evidence, the Supreme Court
observed as follows:
Goan Real Estate & Constrn.Ld.& Anr vs Union Of India Tr.Sec.Min.Of Env.& Ors on 31 March, 2010
35. The aforesaid observations have to be read in the context
in which they were made. It is well settled that a judgment
cannot be read like a Statute. Construction of a judgment
should be made in the light of the factual matrix involved
therein. What is more important is to see the issues involved in
a given case, and the context wherein the observations were
made by the Court while deciding the case. Observation made
in a judgment, it is trite, should not be read in isolation and out
of context. [See Goan Real Estate & Construction Ltd. v.
Union of India, (2010) 5 SCC 388]. It is the ratio of the
judgment, and not every observation made in the context of the
facts of a particular case under consideration of the court,
which constitutes a binding precedent.
P.S. Sathappan (Dead) By Lrs vs Andhra Bank Ltd. & Ors on 7 October, 2004
The Supreme Court in
P.S. Sathappan v. Andhra Bank Ltd., AIR 2004 SC 5152 has
held as follows:
Haryana Financial Corporation & Anr vs M/S Jagdamba Oil Mills & Anr on 28 January, 2002
139. A decision is an authority for the questions of
law determined by it. While applying the ratio, the
court may not pick out a word or a sentence from
the judgment divorced from the context in which
the said question arose for consideration. A
judgment as is well-known, must be read in its
entirety and the observations made therein should
receive consideration in the light of the questions
raised before it. (See Haryana Financial
Corporation and Anr. v. Jagdamba Oil Mills and
Anr., [2002]1SCR621 , Union of India and Ors. v.
