Rangappa vs Sri Mohan on 7 May, 2010

5­ Let us now examine whether the complainant has proved the necessary ingredients of the offence under Section 138 of the Act or not. 5.1 The first ingredient of the offence stands proved as original cheque is placed on record as Ex. CW1/A and issuance of same is admitted by the accused in his defence plea to the notice framed u/s 251 Cr.P.C as well as in his own oral testimony (cross examination) as DW2. It is settled law that a signed cheque by the account holder is a complete instrument and the rest of the portions of the cheque can be filled by the complainant. Hence the first ingredient stands proved. 5.2 The second ingredient of the offence is that the cheque must have been issued in discharge of legal liability. As the signatures on the cheque are admitted, the presumptions raised under Section 139 of the Act become applicable and the issuance of cheque in discharge of the legal liability stands proved. The law on this point has been succinctly laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Rangappa v. Sri Mohan AIR 2010 SC 1898.
