Learned  counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners and first respondent were heard.<\/p>\n<p>            3. Argument of the    Learned   counsel<\/p>\n<p>appearing for the       petitioners is that as is<\/p>\n<p>clear from Ext.P10 ledger extract and Ext.P11<\/p>\n<p>specimen signature furnished by the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>for the purpose of opening the      account, Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>cheque was issued in that account opened by<\/p>\n<p>Mahila Samajam with first petitioner as the<\/p>\n<p>President and second petitioner as Secretary of<\/p>\n<p>the Association and Mahila Samajam is not made<\/p>\n<p>an accused and the proceedings was        initiated<\/p>\n<p>only      against  petitioners and  therefore,  the<\/p>\n<p>conviction is not sustainable. It is argued<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that       petitioners   have no personal liability<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">and the loan was granted to more than             40<\/span><\/p>\n<p>members        of the association and      they are<\/p>\n<p>liable to re-pay the same and when        there was<\/p>\n<p>default      at  the  instance   of  Mithranikethan,<\/p>\n<p>petitioners       entrusted  signed   blank   cheque<\/p>\n<p>which was utilised for creating Ext.P2 cheque<\/p>\n<p>and as the cheque was not issued             by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners to discharge any of their debt or<\/p>\n<p>liability, they cannot be convicted for the<\/p>\n<p>offence      under   Section  138  of     Negotiable<\/p>\n<p>Instruments Act. It is therefore, argued that<\/p>\n<p>conviction is not sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>            4.     Learned   counsel appearing for<\/p>\n<p>first       respondent  would   argue  that   Mahila<\/p>\n<p>Samajam       is  not   a   registered  society   or<\/p>\n<p>association and petitioners are       President and<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of the Samajam and loan was disbursed<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>not to the individual members          but to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners and it is their responsibility       to<\/p>\n<p>disburse the amount and also to collect     it and<\/p>\n<p>re-pay the same and when there was default, for<\/p>\n<p>the amount due Ext.P2 cheque was issued and as<\/p>\n<p>it      was    dishonoured   and   all    statutory<\/p>\n<p>formalities were complied with, the      conviction<\/p>\n<p>is perfectly     legal.\n<\/p>\n<p>            5. Though learned    counsel appearing<\/p>\n<p>for the       petitioners argued that PW1, who was<\/p>\n<p>examined      for     first   respondent,  has   no<\/p>\n<p>authority      to give evidence and the complaint<\/p>\n<p>was filed not by PW1 but by the then power of<\/p>\n<p>attorney        holder     Bhuvanendran,  who   was<\/p>\n<p>examined by the defence as DW2, and therefore,<\/p>\n<p>evidence of PW1 should not      have been accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 is the power of attorney executed by the<\/p>\n<p>Director of Mithranikethan, authorising PW1 to<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>prosecute the case stating that though power of<\/p>\n<p>attorney      was earlier given to DW2 Bhuvanendran<\/p>\n<p>he expressed his difficulty to continue it and<\/p>\n<p>therefore, PW1 was authorised to prosecute the<\/p>\n<p>case further.       The evidence of DW2 establish<\/p>\n<p>that      he  instituted the     complaint on  the<\/p>\n<p>strength of the power of attorney executed in<\/p>\n<p>his      favour  when   he  was   an  employee   of<\/p>\n<p>Mithranikethan     and   subsequently  he  resigned<\/p>\n<p>from that post         and in such circumstances,<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 was executed by the Director authorising<\/p>\n<p>PW1 to prosecute the case further. Evidence of<\/p>\n<p>PW1 shows that he has personal knowledge with<\/p>\n<p>regard       to    the   transaction.    In    such<\/p>\n<p>circumstances,      evidence  of   PW1  cannot   be<\/p>\n<p>ignored and on that ground conviction cannot be<\/p>\n<p>interfered.\n<\/p>\n<p>            6. Ext.P10 ledger extract with Ext.P11<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                            6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>specimen      signature  furnished,  establish  that<\/p>\n<p>the account was opened in Poovachal Branch of<\/p>\n<p>State       Bank  of  Travancore  in  the   name of<\/p>\n<p>Priyadarshini        Mahila    Samajam   by    first<\/p>\n<p>petitioner       as   the   President   and   second<\/p>\n<p>petitioner as the Secretary. Ext.P11 specimen<\/p>\n<p>signature       furnished   by   them   conclusively<\/p>\n<p>establish that fact. Though petitioners would<\/p>\n<p>contend that they have no personal liability,<\/p>\n<p>evidence       establish  that   Mithranikethan  had<\/p>\n<p>furnished       funds    to   Priyadarshini   Mahila<\/p>\n<p>Samajam, for disbursing loan to its members and<\/p>\n<p>petitioners as         President and Secretary had<\/p>\n<p>undertaken the liability and the burden to re-<\/p>\n<p>pay the same by collecting the amount from the<\/p>\n<p>members.        It  cannot   be  disputed  that the<\/p>\n<p>liability was on the petitioners, though in<\/p>\n<p>their capacity as the President and Secretary.<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though      learned  counsel   argued that there is<\/p>\n<p>no evidence to prove that Ext.P2 cheque was<\/p>\n<p>issued towards the amount due and in fact it<\/p>\n<p>was entrusted as a signed blank cheque, when<\/p>\n<p>instalments were defaulted as security and it<\/p>\n<p>was     furnished  evidenced  by  Exts.D1  and  D2,<\/p>\n<p>Ext.D1      only shows  that    apart  from  Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>cheque,       another cheque which is the subject<\/p>\n<p>matter in Crl.R.P.3188\/2006, was also received<\/p>\n<p>by       DW2    for   Mithranikethan,   from    the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners.       It will not show that      those<\/p>\n<p>cheques were blank cheques or tht it was as<\/p>\n<p>security.      Petitioners examined DW4 who was an<\/p>\n<p>employee      of   Mithranikethan  to  prove   that<\/p>\n<p>handwriting in Ext.P2 cheque is that of DW4.<\/p>\n<p>DW4       deposed that it was she who had written<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2       cheque.    But    evidence   of    DW4<\/p>\n<p>establishes that cheque was       filled up by DW4<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>after       verifying  the   account   and   it  is<\/p>\n<p>thereafter      petitioners  signed   the  cheques.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in the light of the evidence of DW4,<\/p>\n<p>petitioners      cannot  contend  that  they  issued<\/p>\n<p>blank cheque, as security. On the other hand,<\/p>\n<p>evidence of DW4 establishes that it was issued<\/p>\n<p>towards the amount due by the petitioners.<\/p>\n<p>            7. Learned  Sessions Judge  appreciated<\/p>\n<p>the     evidence   in  the  proper  perspective  and<\/p>\n<p>rightly found that though petitioners are not<\/p>\n<p>personally       benefited by the loan, they are<\/p>\n<p>responsible and liable for the repayment of the<\/p>\n<p>amount and it is in discharge of that liability<\/p>\n<p>they issued Ext.P2 cheque      and therefore Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>cheque was issued      towards discharge of a legal<\/p>\n<p>enforceable      liability.  That   finding  is   in<\/p>\n<p>accordance       with   the    evidence.   Evidence<\/p>\n<p>establishes that cheque was presented within<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                           9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the statutory period and first respondent had<\/p>\n<p>complied      with all  the  statutory  formalities<\/p>\n<p>provided      under  Sections   138  and   142   of<\/p>\n<p>Negotiable Instruments Act. Hence conviction of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner for the offence under Section<\/p>\n<p>138 of      Negotiable Instruments Act is perfectly<\/p>\n<p>legal.\n<\/p>\n<p>            8. Then the only question  is regarding<\/p>\n<p>the sentence. Learned Additional Sessions Judge<\/p>\n<p>modified      the  sentence  to  imprisonment  till<\/p>\n<p>rising       of   court    and   compensation    of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.75,788\/-,      the  amount     covered  by   the<\/p>\n<p>dishonoured      cheque  and   in  default   simple<\/p>\n<p>imprisonment for three months each.         Learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel submitted that direction was to pay<\/p>\n<p>compensation      of  Rs.75,788\/-    each  by   the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners and it will be double the amount<\/p>\n<p>covered by the dishonoured cheque. I find that<\/p>\n<p>Crrp 1478\/05<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                         10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>there is no direction to pay compensation of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.75,788\/- each by the petitioners.      Instead<\/p>\n<p>on default they were directed to undergo simple<\/p>\n<p>imprisonment for three months each. In order to<\/p>\n<p>avoid       confusion, it   is   clarified   that<\/p>\n<p>petitioners      need  to  pay   compensation   of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.75,788\/- jointly viz. Rs.37,894\/- each.<\/p>\n<p>            Revision is disposed clarifying  that<\/p>\n<p>compensation payable by each of the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>is Rs.37,894\/-.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                             M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR,<br \/>\n                                        JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nuj.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court P.Girija vs S.Buvanendran on 10 June, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM Crl.Rev.Pet.No. 1478 of 2005() 1.
