17. Hence in the light of above discussion it comes out that the complainant
CC No. 15026/1/11 Manoj Babbar vs. Manish Sharma 10/11
has failed to prove his case beyond all the reasonable doubts and accused has
successfully rebutt the presumption in favour of the complainant as the standard
of proof so as to prove a defence on the part of accused is only 'preponderance of
probabilities' and inference of preponderance of probabilities can be drawn not
only from the materials brought on record by the parties but also by reference to
the circumstances upon which he relies as the same was held by Hon'ble Supreme
Court in Krishnajanardhan Bhat v. Dattatraya G. Hegde 2008crl.L.J. 1172.

Instruments Act. Bail bond and Surety bond stands discharged. Original

Hiten P. Dalal vs Bratindranath Banerjee on 11 July, 2001
14. For the offence under sec. 138 N.I. Act, the presumptions under section
118(a) and 139 have to be compulsory raised as soon as execution of cheque by
accused is admitted or proved by the complainant and thereafter burden is shifted
to accused to prove otherwise. These presumptions shall end only when the
contrary is proved by the accused, that is, the cheque was not issued for
consideration and in discharge of any debt or liability etc. A presumption is not in
itself evidence but only makes a prima facie case for a party for whose benefit it
exists. Presumptions both under section 118 and 138 are rebuttable in nature.
Same was held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Hiten P. Dalal v.
Bratindranath Banerjee [(2001) 6 SCC 16].
