This aquittal appeal arises out of the judgment dated 5.7.2010\n           passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Lohardaga in Complain Case\n           No. 114 of 2006 acquitting the respondent no. 2 - Faruque Khan under\n           Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act (hereinafter referred to as\n           'N. I. Act').\n           3.              Mr. A. K. Kashyap, learned senior counsel appearing for\n           the appellant\/complainant assailing the impugned judgment submitted\n           as follows. The trial court wrongly held that there was much delay after\n           service of legal notice to the accused and        there was violation of\n           Section 138 of the N. I. Act.\n                           According to the complainant the parties were friends and\n           the accused used to take financial help from the complainant.         On\n           4.4.2006<\/pre>\n<p>, the accused was in urgent need of money. He approached<br \/>\n           the complainant and requested to manage Rs. 2,63,000\/- and assured<br \/>\n           to return it within four months. He gave a cheque for the said amount<br \/>\n           and requested to present it in August 2006. On this, the complainant<br \/>\n           managed and gave the said amount to the accused. Such transaction<br \/>\n           was effected on the same day i.e. 4.4.2006.             The complainant<br \/>\n           produced the cheque for encashment on 2.8.2006, but it was returned<br \/>\n           on the same day with memo showing insufficient fund.                  The<br \/>\n           complainant sent a legal notice on 14.8.2006 for making payment in 15<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                          -2-<\/span><br \/>\ndays. It will appear from Exhibit 4 &#8211; the postal acknowlegment, that<br \/>\nsuch notice was received by the accused on 22.08.2006.            As per<br \/>\nSection 138 (c) read with Section 142 of the N. I. Act, the complaint<br \/>\ncould be filed within one month of the date on which the cause of<br \/>\naction arose under Clause (c) of the proviso to Section 138. From the<br \/>\ndate of receipt of notice, the accused was required to make payment<br \/>\nwithin 15 days as per the notice i.e. by 6th of the September 2006.<br \/>\nAdmittedly, neither payment was made nor any reply to the said notice<br \/>\nwas sent to the complainant. The complaint was filed on 10.10.2006.<br \/>\nIt will be presumed that the delay of 4-5 days, if any, was condoned<br \/>\nwhile taking cognizance which power was vested with the Magistrate<br \/>\nunder Section 142 of the N. I. Act.        Moreover, the order taking<br \/>\ncognizance was never challenged by the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>            He also submitted that the complainant was not required<br \/>\nto establish how and where the payment of the amount was made to<br \/>\nthe accused as observed by the learned trial court. Learned trial court<br \/>\ntook into account irrelevant consideration when it observed that the<br \/>\ncomplainant could not have possessed such a hugh amount.              He<br \/>\nfurther submitted that it is also wrongly held that the complainant has<br \/>\nnot established that the said amount related to any debt or any liability.<br \/>\nHe relied on Section 118 (a) and 139 of the N. I. Act, and the<br \/>\njudgement reported in (2010) 11 SCC 441 Rangappa Vs. Sri Mohan.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.          On the other hand, Mr. Sanjay Prasad, learned counsel<br \/>\nappearing for the respondent no. 2 relying on the judgment reported in<br \/>\n(2003) 1 SCC 1 C. Antony Vs. K. G. Raghavan Nair , submitted that<br \/>\nthe findings of acquittal in this case may not be interfered. Supporting<br \/>\nthe impugned judgment he further submitted that the amount was filled<br \/>\nin other hand writing in the cheque. He also submitted that a complaint<br \/>\ncase being Case No. 33 of 2008 was filed by the complainant (Exhibit\n<\/p>\n<p>6) as the accused misused one of the 12 cheques given to him for<br \/>\nhanding them over to the financier, and therefore, non-reply to the<br \/>\nnotice was inconsequential.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.          To this Mr. Kashyap replied that such complaint case was<br \/>\nfiled after two years of filing of the present complaint with a false and<br \/>\nimprobable story, and moreover it was dismissed on 11.11.2008 for<br \/>\nnon-prosecution. He further submitted that the defence raised in the<br \/>\nsaid complaint was not raised at any point of time by the accused. He<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                              -3-<\/span><br \/>\n                 also submitted that admittedly the cheque was signed by the accused<br \/>\n                 and it is not required that the signatory himself has to fill the amount<br \/>\n                 etc. in the cheque.      He also submitted that the parties filed a joint<br \/>\n                 compromise petition also in the trial court (Exhibit 2), in which the<br \/>\n                 accused agreed to pay Rs. 5,000\/- per month but the same was also<br \/>\n                 not considered by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 6.              In our opinion, the aforesaid submissions\/contentions<br \/>\n                 raised on behalf of the parties, have not been considered\/dealt with by<br \/>\n                 the trial court. As we are inclined to remand the matter, it will not be<br \/>\n                 proper to make any observations on the submissions of the parties. It<br \/>\n                 is made clear that this order will not prejudice them before the trial<br \/>\n                 court.\n<\/p>\n<p>                 7.              In the result, the impugned judgment is set aside and the<br \/>\n                 matter is remanded to the trial court for a fresh decision in accordance<br \/>\n                 with law. The parties are directed to cooperate in early disposal of the<br \/>\n                 matter. With these observations and directions, this appeal is disposed<br \/>\n                 of.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                         (R. K.
