Appeal is preferred against the judgment of the<\/p>\n<p>Sessions Judge, Kozhikode whereby the learned Sessions<\/p>\n<p>Judge reversed the conviction and sentence passed by the trial<\/p>\n<p>court in a 138 case. The trial court on a consideration of the<\/p>\n<p>materials held that the complainant has succeeded in proving<\/p>\n<p>the case and therefore convicted the accused to undergo<\/p>\n<p>imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay a fine of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.1,000\/-. It is against that decision an appeal was preferred<\/p>\n<p>and the appellate court reversed the conviction and sentence<\/p>\n<p>and set the accused at liberty.  It is against that decision the<\/p>\n<p>present appellant has come up before this Court.<\/p>\n<p>     2.    Heard the learned counsel for both the sides and<\/p>\n<p>perused the documents, evidence and the judgments rendered<\/p>\n<p>by both the Courts. It is the case of the complainant that for<\/p>\n<p>the purpose of her daughter&#8217;s marriage the accused borrowed<\/p>\n<p>Crl. Appeal NO. 1044 OF 2002<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                           -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>a sum of Rs.60,000\/- with a promise to pay back the same.<\/p>\n<p>As she did not pay the amount in time she was contacted and<\/p>\n<p>initially further time was sought for. Again when he went for<\/p>\n<p>the collection of the amount the accused had issued a cheque<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 towards the discharge of the liability. When the said<\/p>\n<p>cheque was presented for encashment it was returned with the<\/p>\n<p>endorsement of insufficiency of funds and after complying with<\/p>\n<p>the statutory requirements a case has been launched u\/s 138<\/p>\n<p>of the N.I. Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>       3.      PW1 and PW2 were examined before the trial court.<\/p>\n<p>PW2 is the defacto complainant. In chief examination he had<\/p>\n<p>deposed in tune with the complainant and he had also faced<\/p>\n<p>the cross-examination and nothing has been brought out in<\/p>\n<p>the cross examination to discard his evidence. It is true that<\/p>\n<p>he had deposed before Court, &#8220;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..&#8221; He had denied the<\/p>\n<p>suggestion that except the signature, body of the cheque is in<\/p>\n<p>another ink. I had perused the disputed cheque as well. With<\/p>\n<p>a naked eye it does not reveal that they are written at<\/p>\n<p>different times. The appellate court just on the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>word &#8216;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.&#8217; had reversed the judgment of the trial<\/p>\n<p>Crl. Appeal NO. 1044 OF 2002<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>court which was improper. It has to be stated that before the<\/p>\n<p>initiation of the action a notice was issued which was received<\/p>\n<p>by the accused and she did not send any reply.           In 313<\/p>\n<p>question also she did not say that somebody else had written<\/p>\n<p>the cheque.     She did not adduce any evidence at all. So a<\/p>\n<p>mere suggestion to the complainant during the time of cross-<\/p>\n<p>examination cannot be considered as a substitute for proof<\/p>\n<p>and the evidence of PW2, the complainant does not suffer<\/p>\n<p>from any infirmity. So I feel the appellate court has grossly<\/p>\n<p>erred in reversing the conviction and sentence passed by the<\/p>\n<p>Court below and the materials available only points out that<\/p>\n<p>the case has been proved. I am conscious of the fact that the<\/p>\n<p>mere admission of a signature in a document is not sufficient<\/p>\n<p>to prove execution of the document.        But when PW2, the<\/p>\n<p>complainant deposes before Court that towards the discharge<\/p>\n<p>of the liability when he approached the accused she had<\/p>\n<p>executed a cheque and handed over it to him by putting her<\/p>\n<p>signature remains uncontroverted.        I find it is sufficient.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore I set aside the judgment of the appellate court and<\/p>\n<p>find that the accused is guilty of the offence u\/s 138 of the<\/p>\n<p>N.I. Act. So far as the sentence is concerned it is true that the<\/p>\n<p>Crl. Appeal NO. 1044 OF 2002<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>transaction is of the year 1998 and it had been pending in<\/p>\n<p>Courts for more than a decade. Taking into consideration the<\/p>\n<p>facts and circumstances of the case I feel this is a fit case<\/p>\n<p>where the sentence of fine can be imposed as the present<\/p>\n<p>statute permits the Court to levy of fine double the amount<\/p>\n<p>involved in the cheque. I restrict it to the cheque amount and<\/p>\n<p>therefore the appeal is disposed of as follows.<\/p>\n<p>      4.   The order of acquittal passed by the appellate court<\/p>\n<p>is set aside and it is found that the accused is guilty u\/s 138 of<\/p>\n<p>the N.I. Act. She is convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of<\/p>\n<p>Rs.60,000\/- and in case of default to undergo imprisonment<\/p>\n<p>for a period of three months. The accused is granted time till<\/p>\n<p>31.8.09 to wipe off the liability and in default the trial court is<\/p>\n<p>directed to execute the sentence. When the fine amount is<\/p>\n<p>realised it has to be disbursed to the complainant on her<\/p>\n<p>application.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  M.N.
