Businessman convicted in cheque bounce case
Ludhiana January 29 The orders were pronounced by the court while deciding the complaint filed by Satish Kumar Bhatia of Sandrewal village, Nawan Shahar district. The complainant had submitted before the court that the accused was the owner of M/s Mandhir Tyre Centre. The accused had borrowed Rs 2 lakh from him for his tyre business. The amount was given to him through two demand drafts in May 1997 and December 1998, which was utilised by the accused. He demanded the borrowed amount from the accused from time to time but he put off the matter giving lame excuses. Later on, in order to discharge his legally enforceable
liabilty, the accused gave him a cheque of Rs one lakh in the month of September
1999. But when the cheque was presented to the banker of accused for encashment, it was dishonoured with the remarks “insufficient funds”. Even despite sending a legal notice, the accused failed to make the payment. However, the accused pleaded not guilty. He claimed that actually a blank cheque was given by him to Mohinder Pal Chaudhary, who was maternal uncle of the complainant. The complainant had misused the said cheque and he was not under any
liabilty. “The plea of accused does not inspire any confidence because, no evidence pertaining to this fact has been brought on record by the accused. Such plea can be easily taken by any of the drawer, when criminal machinery is moved against the drawer due to the reason that
cheque issued by him was bounced, so this plea taken by the accused is not believable,” remarked the judge. He further held that it was a feeble attempt of the accused to throw out the case of the complainant.
