In K. Bhaskaran Vs. Sankaran Vaidhyan Balan ; AIR 1999
Supreme Court 3762; it was observed that as the signature in the
cheque is admitted to be that of the accused, the presumption
envisaged in Section 118 of the Act can legally be inferred that the
cheque was made or drawn for consideration on the date which the
cheque bears. Section 139 of the Act enjoins on the Court to
presume that the holder of the cheque received it for the discharge
of any debt or liability. The burden is on the accused to rebut the
aforesaid presumption.
