T. Nagappa vs Y.R. Muralidhar on 24 April, 2008
12. Even no such dispute is raised by the petitioner and learned
Trial Court as well as Revisional Court came to the conclusion that
with a view to protract the litigation at the fag-end, such defense
has been raised by the accused. Learned advocate has relied on the
judgments rendered in cases of (i) T. Nagappa Vs. Y.R.Murlidhar,
reported in AIR 2008 SC 2010 and (ii) Special Criminal

that cheque was given to his Ex-partner and thus, the cheque was
not for any existing debt or liability. In that case, the cheque issued
towards the security in the year 2011 and ex-partner had misused
the cheque though there was specific defense qua misuse of cheque
and there was bonafide and probable defense of the accused. Even
in the case of Shashikant Shamaldas Patel (SCR.A No.11178/2021),
cheque was fabricated and it was not issued towards any legal debt
or liability. Even the accused had also filed a complaint against the
complainant under Sections 406, 420, 506(2) and 114 of Indian
Penal Code, 1860 and thereafter, chapter case also filed against the
complainant and other witnesses. Further, as the cheque was
misused in collusion with one Amratbhai Patel and the complainant,
application came to be allowed. Here in the case on hand, no
bonafide and probable defense has been raised.
