Bhadran vs P.A.Cyril on 12 June, 2009<\/div>\n

JOSEPH, J.\n                              --------------------------------------\n                                Crl.R.P.Nos.767 of 2003\n                                        330 of 2005\n                                               &\n                                        357 of 2005\n                              --------------------------------------\n                     Dated this the 12th day of June, 2009.\n\n                                           ORDER\n<\/pre>\n
        These revisions arise at the instance of the convicted accused in<\/p>\n
C.C.Nos.405 of 1998, 425 of 1998 and 421 of 1998, respectively of the court of<\/p>\n
learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (Economic Offences), Ernakulam.<\/p>\n
Since the parties are common in all these cases and the question involved are<\/p>\n
also the same, these revisions are being disposed of by this common order.<\/p>\n
        2.     These cases arose on private complaints preferred by respondent<\/p>\n
No.1 alleging that petitioner borrowed a total sum of Rs.2,80,000\/- on three<\/p>\n
different occasions undertaking to repay the same within one month and for the<\/p>\n
discharge of that liability, issued three cheques, marked as Ext.P1 in each case.<\/p>\n
It is the further case of respondent No.1 that he presented those cheques for<\/p>\n
encashment but the same were dishonoured for insufficiency of funds which is<\/p>\n
proved by Exts.P2 and P3 in each case. On getting intimation about dishonour,<\/p>\n
respondent No.1 issued statutory notice to the petitioner intimating dishonour<\/p>\n
and demanding payment. Notices were served on the petitioner. Issue and<\/p>\n
service of notices on the petitioner are proved by Exts.P4 and P5 in each<\/p>\n
case. Respondent No.1 gave evidence in each case as PW1 and testified to his<\/p>\n
case.    According to him, petitioner was             his close friend and for business<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.767\/2003
\n& connected cases.\n<\/p>\n
\n                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n
purposes of the petitioner, he gave loan of Rs.2,80,000\/-. It is also his case that<\/p>\n
money arranged for the marriage of his sister was advanced to the petitioner by<\/p>\n
way of loan believing the undertaking of petitioner that he would return the<\/p>\n
amount within one month. Petitioner claimed that some time back, in connection<\/p>\n
with certain income tax purposes he happened to give signed blank cheques to<\/p>\n
respondent No.1 as security.             In C.C.No.405 of 1998 from which<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.No.767 of 2003 arises petitioner proved Exts.D1 to D7 which are the<\/p>\n
copy of    plaint in a connected civil suit and copy of      complaints filed by<\/p>\n
respondent No.1 against him in the two other cases. In C.C.Nos.425 of 1998<\/p>\n
and 421 of 1998 from which Crl.R.P.Nos.330 of 2005 and 357 of 2005 arise<\/p>\n
petitioner examined the manager of drawee bank as DW1. In C.C.No.425 of<\/p>\n
1998, petitioner proved Exts.D1 to D10. Ext.D1 is the copy of ledger extract and<\/p>\n
Exts.D2 to D7 are documents similar to Exts.D2 to D6 marked in C.C.No.405 of<\/p>\n
1998. In C.C.No.421 of 1998 Exts.D1 to D10 are marked. Ext.D1 is the copy of<\/p>\n
ledger extract and Exts.D2 to D10 are copy of plaint or complaint preferred by<\/p>\n
respondent No.1 against the petitioner in the two other cases.            Learned<\/p>\n
magistrate was not inclined to accept the case of the petitioner, found that he<\/p>\n
issued the cheques for discharge of a legally enforceable debt\/liability, failed to<\/p>\n
rebut the presumption under Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (for<\/p>\n
short, “the Act”) and accordingly convicted him for offence punishable under<\/p>\n
Section 138 of the Act.        Petitioner  was sentenced to undergo simple<\/p>\n
imprisonment and payment of fine. It was directed that portion of the fine if<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.767\/2003
\n& connected cases.\n<\/p>\n
\n                                          3<\/span><\/p>\n
realized will be paid to respondent No.1 as compensation under Section 357(1)<\/p>\n
of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short, “the Code”). Conviction in all the<\/p>\n
cases were confirmed by the appellate court. Sentence awarded in C.C.No.405<\/p>\n
of 1998 was also confirmed but the substantive sentence               awarded in<\/p>\n
C.C.Nos.425 of 1998 and 421 of 1998 were modified as simple imprisonment till<\/p>\n
rising of the court. Petitioner is aggrieved and has come up in revision.<\/p>\n
       3.     It is submitted by learned counsel for petitioner that petitioner is<\/p>\n
prepared to clear the liability within three months and requested for such time.<\/p>\n
Counsel submitted that in the connected cases, petitioner has been given three<\/p>\n
months’ time to deposit the fine.         Learned counsel for respondent No.1<\/p>\n
submitted that the transaction was way back in the year, 1997 and that the<\/p>\n
amount arranged for the marriage of sister of respondent No.1 was given to the<\/p>\n
petitioner by way of hand loan on account of the thick friendship respondent<\/p>\n
No.1 had with the petitioner.       It is also submitted by learned counsel that<\/p>\n
marriage of sister of respondent No.1 had to be postponed since the petitioner<\/p>\n
did not repay the amount, within one month as agreed. According to the<\/p>\n
learned counsel, petitioner has already enjoyed the benefit of the loan for the<\/p>\n
last 12 years.\n<\/p>\n
       4.     So far conviction of the petitioner is concerned, it is seen that<\/p>\n
petitioner had not set up any definite case as to how the cheques signed by him<\/p>\n
and drawn on his account reached respondent No.1.          He only stated that in<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.767\/2003
\n& connected cases.\n<\/p>\n
\n                                        4<\/span><\/p>\n
connection with income tax purposes blank cheques were given to respondent<\/p>\n
No.1.   Being an accused in a criminal case, it is open to the petitioner to take<\/p>\n
inconsistent and contradictory pleas. But when evidence of respondent No.1,<\/p>\n
that petitioner has no consistent case would assume relevance. Petitioner has<\/p>\n
no    materials   to prove that the transaction between       the petitioner and<\/p>\n
respondent No.1 was much prior to 1997 or that signed blank cheques were<\/p>\n
given as security.     Petitioner proved   Ext.D1, copy of ledger extract and<\/p>\n
examined DW1 in C.C.Nos.425 of 1998 and 421 of 1998. That evidence is only<\/p>\n
to the effect that cheques which bore numbers prior to Ext.P1 marked in these<\/p>\n
cases were encashed much before the date of Ext.P1. For that reason alone, it<\/p>\n
cannot be said that cheques were given as security as claimed by the petitioner.<\/p>\n
It is pertinent to note that inspite of being served with notice of dishonour,<\/p>\n
petitioner did not reply to such notice. It is seen that notices mentioned fairly<\/p>\n
large amounts and demand was          made for payment of such amount within<\/p>\n
fifteen days but petitioner did not respond to it.   Nothing was brought out to<\/p>\n
disbelieve the evidence of PW1.     In these circumstances I do not find reason<\/p>\n
to interfere with the concurrent finding of the courts below as to the due<\/p>\n
execution of the cheques in question. Petitioner was not successful in rebutting<\/p>\n
the presumption under Section 139 of the Act.\n<\/p>\n
       5.     So far as      substantive sentence awarded     in these cases is<\/p>\n
concerned, appellate court has modified it as simple imprisonment till rising of<\/p>\n
the court in C.C.Nos.425 of 1998 and 421 of 1998.            That called for no<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.767\/2003
\n& connected cases.\n<\/p>\n
\n                                        5<\/span><\/p>\n
interference.   In C.C.No.405 of 1998 petitioner was      sentenced to undergo<\/p>\n
simple imprisonment for one month and that was confirmed by the appellate<\/p>\n
court. Considering the nature of the offence and also taking into account the fact<\/p>\n
that in the connected cases appellate court has modified the sentence as simple<\/p>\n
imprisonment till rising of the court, I am satisfied that similar punishment is<\/p>\n
sufficient in C.C.No.405 of 1998 also. Hence substantive sentence awarded in<\/p>\n
C.C.No.405 of 1998 is modified as simple imprisonment till rising of the court.<\/p>\n
       6.     Second part of the sentence is for payment of fine.         Learned<\/p>\n
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate taking into account the fact that cheques<\/p>\n
were issued in the year 1997, and the amount covered by the cheques has<\/p>\n
imposed appropriate amount as fine and directed that portion of the fine if<\/p>\n
realised will be given to respondent No.1 as compensation. Learned counsel for<\/p>\n
respondent    No.1 requests that fine imposed by the learned Chief Judicial<\/p>\n
Magistrate may be converted as compensation payable to respondent No.1<\/p>\n
directly. Section 357(4) of the Code permits the High Court in revision to<\/p>\n
award compensation. In the circumstances, fine awarded by learned Chief<\/p>\n
Judicial Magistrate is converted as compensation.      In default of payment of<\/p>\n
compensation petitioner has to undergo the same default sentence          learned<\/p>\n
Chief Judicial Magistrate has imposed for non-payment of fine. On the question<\/p>\n
whether the petitioner should be granted three months’ time to deposit the<\/p>\n
compensation, it is conceded by learned counsel for respondent No.1 also that<\/p>\n
in other connected cases, petitioner had already deposited the fine and that<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.Nos.767\/2003
\n& connected cases.\n<\/p>\n
\n                                           6<\/span><\/p>\n
amount has been received by respondent No.1. In the circumstances, I am<\/p>\n
inclined to grant three months’ time to the petitioner to deposit the compensation<\/p>\n
in the trial court.\n<\/p>\n
               Resultantly, these revision petitions are disposed of in the following<\/p>\n
lines:\n<\/p>\n
               A.     Crl.R.P.No.767 of 2003\n\n                      i.     Substantive sentence awarded to the petitioner is\n\n<\/pre>\n
        modified as simple imprisonment till rising of the court.<\/p>\n
                      ii.      Sentence of fine is set aside. Petitioner is directed<\/p>\n
        to deposit in the trial court for payment to respondent No.1 Rs.2,05,000\/-<\/p>\n
        (Rupees Two lakhs and five thousand only) as compensation within three<\/p>\n
        months from this day failing which he shall undergo simple imprisonment<\/p>\n
        for two months.\n<\/p>\n
               B.     Crl.R.P.No.330 of 2005\n\n                i.    Substantive sentence awarded to the petitioner         by the\n\n        appellate court is confirmed.\n\n        ii.    Sentence of fine is set aside. Petitioner is directed to deposit in\n\n<\/pre>\n
        the trial court Rs.50,000\/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) as compensation<\/p>\n
        for payment to     respondent No.1 under Section 357(3) of the Code.<\/p>\n
        Petitioner shall deposit that amount in the trial court within three months<\/p>\n
        from this day failing which he shall undergo simple imprisonment for two<\/p>\n
        months.\n<\/p>\n

               C.     Crl.R.P.No.357 of 2005\n\n                          i.        Substantive    sentence    awarded      to  the\n\n<\/pre>\n
                        petitioner by the appellate court is confirmed.\n<\/p>\n
                    ii.     Sentence of fine is set aside. Petitioner is directed to<\/p>\n
       deposit in the trial court Rs.50,000\/- (Rupees Fifty thousand only) as<\/p>\n
       compensation for payment to respondent No.1 under Section 357(3) of<\/p>\n
       the Code. Petitioner is directed to deposit that amount in the trial court<\/p>\n
       within three months from this day failing which he shall undergo simple<\/p>\n
       imprisonment for two months.\n<\/p>\n
              D.       The default sentence provided for non payment of<\/p>\n
       compensation shall run consecutively.\n<\/p>\n
              E.    If  petitioner has already deposited any amount in these<\/p>\n
       cases in any of the courts below, that amount will be adjusted in the<\/p>\n
       compensation payable in the respective cases.         Respondent No.1 is<\/p>\n
       permitted to withdraw such amount if any deposited in any of the courts<\/p>\n
       below.\n<\/p>\n
              F.    It is made clear that it will be sufficient compliance of<\/p>\n
       direction for deposit of compensation if petitioner paid the amount of<\/p>\n
       compensation to respondent No.1 through his counsel in the trial court<\/p>\n
       and respondent No.1 filed     a statement in the trial court through his<\/p>\n
       counsel acknowledging      receipt of the compensation within the said<\/p>\n
