\n      Notice to respondent No.1 is dispensed with in view of the order I<\/p>\n
am proposing to pass in the revision which is not               prejudicial to<\/p>\n
respondent No.1.\n<\/p>\n
      2.    Judgment of learned Sessions Judge, Thiruvananthapuram<\/p>\n
in Crl.Appeal No.830 of 2007 confirming conviction of the petitioner<\/p>\n
for    offence punishable under           Section 138 of the Negotiable<\/p>\n
Instruments Act (for short, “the Act”) but modifying the substantive<\/p>\n
sentence is under challenge in this revision.\n<\/p>\n
      3.    Case is that to discharge liability to the tune of Rs.75,000\/-<\/p>\n
petitioner  issued   Ext.P1,    cheque        dated    7.4.2002   which on<\/p>\n
presentation for encashment was returned                 on    10.7.2002 for<\/p>\n
insufficiency of funds. Respondent No.1 gave notice of dishonour and<\/p>\n
demanded payment of the amount.             Though notice was served on the<\/p>\n
petitioner, he did not respond, either by way of a reply or by<\/p>\n
compliance. Hence the complaint. Respondent No.1 gave evidence as<\/p>\n
P.W.1 and proved Exts.P1 to P7. Dishonour of the cheque for above<\/p>\n
said reason is proved by Exts.P2 and P3. Issue and service of notice<\/p>\n
are proved by Exts.P4 to P6. Obviously to prove that respondent No.1<\/p>\n
CRL. R.P. No.605 of 2009
\n                                 -: 2 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
had sufficient funds to     advance the sum of Rs.75,000\/- to the<\/p>\n
petitioner, the former produced Ext.P7, certified copy of a sale deed<\/p>\n
executed by his father.     According to the    petitioner, he had no<\/p>\n
transaction with respondent No.1. He examined D.Ws.1 to 4 to show<\/p>\n
that respondent No.1 had no sufficient funds with him to advance<\/p>\n
Rs.75,000\/-.   Exhibit D1 was marked on the side of the petitioner.<\/p>\n
Courts below found, accepting the case of        respondent No.1 that<\/p>\n
petitioner issued the cheque for the discharge of the legally<\/p>\n
enforceable debt\/liability and convicted the petitioner for the offence<\/p>\n
as aforesaid.     It is contended by the learned counsel that due<\/p>\n
execution of the cheque is not proved and that at any rate the<\/p>\n
presumption under Sec.139 of the Act is rebutted. It is also contended<\/p>\n
that notice issued is not valid and hence conviction is vitiated.<\/p>\n
      4.    As to the due execution of cheque, respondent No.1 has<\/p>\n
given evidence as P.W.1.        He claimed that petitioner borrowed<\/p>\n
Rs.75,000\/- from him and issued the cheque. It is admitted by the<\/p>\n
petitioner also that Ext.P1 contained his signature and that it is drawn<\/p>\n
on the account maintained by him. Respondent No.1, when examined<\/p>\n
as P.W.1 stated that the sum of Rs.75,000\/- was taken from the<\/p>\n
proceeds of the sale of the property belonging to his parents, as per<\/p>\n
Ext.P7.     In Ext.P7, the sale deed executed by      D.W.1 (father of<\/p>\n
CRL. R.P. No.605 of 2009
\n                                  -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
respondent No.1), the sale consideration stated is Rs.54,000\/-. It is<\/p>\n
stated in Ext.P7 and it is practically admitted by D.W.1 also that the<\/p>\n
sale was with intend to purchase another item of land with the sale<\/p>\n
consideration received and accordingly D.W.1       purchased another<\/p>\n
property for Rs.50,000\/-.     But respondent No.1 asserted, D.W.1<\/p>\n
claimed and D.W.2, the purchaser under Ext.P7 admitted that sale<\/p>\n
consideration was Rs.1,53,000\/- though it was stated in Ext.P7 as only<\/p>\n
Rs.54,000\/- for some other purposes. D.Ws.3 and 4 are the document<\/p>\n
writer and scribe of Ext.P7. They do not know whether the sale was for<\/p>\n
any amount higher than what is mentioned in Ext.P7.<\/p>\n
      5.    According to D.W.1, out of the sale consideration of<\/p>\n
Rs.1,53,000\/- he received by sale of his property as per Ext.P7, he<\/p>\n
paid Rs.75,000\/- to his son (respondent No.1). May be Ext.P7 is only<\/p>\n
for Rs.54,000\/- and going by the version of D.Ws.1 and 2 they may<\/p>\n
have to suffer proceedings under the Stamp Act for not mentioning in<\/p>\n
Ext.P7 the actual sale consideration.    But that  is not sufficient to<\/p>\n
disbelieve D.Ws.1 and 2. They are the witnesses examined by and for<\/p>\n
the petitioner. Nothing is brought out by the petitioner to disbelieve<\/p>\n
his own witnesses. It is a fact that Registration Authorities book so<\/p>\n
many cases under the relevant provisions of the Stamp Act for not<\/p>\n
mentioning the real consideration in the documents.    It is thus in the<\/p>\n
CRL. R.P. No.605 of 2009
\n                                 -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
evidence    which     was  brought    through   D.Ws.1    and  2    that<\/p>\n
notwithstanding the consideration stated in Ext.P7, the sale was for<\/p>\n
Rs.1,53,000\/-.    There is no reason why D.Ws.1 and 2 should be<\/p>\n
disbelieved.    I   also bear in mind that petitioner has no proper<\/p>\n
explanation how the signed blank cheque leaf happened to be in the<\/p>\n
custody of respondent No.1 and why in spite of getting a notice which<\/p>\n
contained a demand for payment of the amount covered by the<\/p>\n
cheque he did not reply. In these circumstances I do not find reason<\/p>\n
to interfere with the finding of the courts below which rested on a<\/p>\n
proper appreciation of the evidence on record, that petitioner issued<\/p>\n
the cheque in question in favour of respondent No.1 for the discharge<\/p>\n
of a legally enforceable debt\/liability.\n<\/p>\n
      6.    It is next contended by learned counsel that at any rate,<\/p>\n
presumption under Sec.139 of the Act is only as to the consideration<\/p>\n
and not as to the legality of recoverability of the debt or liability.<\/p>\n
Assuming so, there is the evidence of P.W.1 as to the transaction<\/p>\n
which the courts below found in his favour and which I find, there is no<\/p>\n
reason to interfere.     Petitioner has not rebutted the presumption<\/p>\n
under Sec.139 of the Act.\n<\/p>\n
      7.    Next contention is that notice issued (Ext.P4 is the copy<\/p>\n
and Ext.D1 is the original) is not valid in so far as the demand is for<\/p>\n
CRL. R.P. No.605 of 2009
\n                                  -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
payment of for Rs.50,000\/- and that too, within a period of ten (10)<\/p>\n
days. I have gone through the copy of notice made available by the<\/p>\n
counsel. Notice starts with case of respondent No.1 that petitioner<\/p>\n
issued the cheque in question for Rs.75,000\/- and further says that the<\/p>\n
said cheque was dishonoured. Towards the end of the notice it is<\/p>\n
stated that petitioner has to pay the “said amount of Rs.50,000\/-”<\/p>\n
due to respondent No.1 within ten days. The amount demanded is<\/p>\n
Rs.50,000\/- but use of       the words ‘said amount’ indicates that<\/p>\n
reference is to Ext.P1, cheque which is stated in the notice as issued<\/p>\n
for Rs.75,000\/-. It leaves me in no doubt that the statement in the<\/p>\n
notice regarding the amount as Rs.50,000\/- is only an inadvertent<\/p>\n
mistake by which petitioner could not have been mislead.<\/p>\n
      8.     So far as the period stated in the notice for repayment is<\/p>\n
concerned, it is conceded that it was after the grace period provided<\/p>\n
for payment of the amount after service of the notice that respondent<\/p>\n
No.1 initiated legal proceedings. Hence notice cannot be said to be<\/p>\n
invalid or to have prejudiced the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
      9.     On going through the judgments under challenge I find no<\/p>\n
illegality, irregularity or impropriety in the courts below entering<\/p>\n
conviction on the petitioner.   Sentence as modified by the learned<\/p>\n
Sessions Judge is in accordance with the provision of law and taking<\/p>\n
CRL. R.P. No.605 of 2009
\n                                  -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n
into account the object of legislation. There is little reason to interfere<\/p>\n
with that as well.\n<\/p>\n
      10.   At this stage counsel for petitioner requested four months’<\/p>\n
time to deposit the fine. Having regard to the amount involved and<\/p>\n
circumstances stated by learned counsel I am inclined to grant two<\/p>\n
months’ time to the petitioner to deposit the fine as ordered by the<\/p>\n
learned Sessions Judge.\n<\/p>\n
      Resultantly, revision fails. It is dismissed. Petitioner is granted<\/p>\n
two months’ time from this day to deposit the fine in the trial court.<\/p>\n
Petitioner shall appear in the trial court on 28.7.2009 to receive the<\/p>\n
sentence.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                             THOMAS P.JOSEPH, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n
