Mrs. Jain Babu vs K.J.Joseph on 4 September, 2008

It was held that, in case the defence does lead any evidence, the nature of its evidence may not be necessarily documentary; in all likelihood the defence would lead other kinds of evidences to rebut the presumption that the issuance of the cheque was not in discharge of any debt or Crl.A.78/11 7 liability. The Supreme Court held that, this was the basic difference between the nature of the complainant's evidence and the evidence of the accused in a case of dishonoured cheque. Court concluded that, it was wrong to equate the defence evidence with the complainant's evidence and to extend the same option to the accused as well. Virtually, Supreme Court overruled the dictum of the Kerala High Court in Jain Babu v. K.J.Joseph and Another (2008(4) KHC 1), wherein, it was held that the accused can tender his evidence by way of affidavit.
