K.L.Francis vs Maggy on 11 August, 2009<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nCRL.A.No. 1134 of 2004()\n\n\n1. K.L.FRANCIS, S\/O.LONAPPAN,\n                      ...

BY THE PUBLIC\n\n                For Petitioner  :SRI.P.VIJAYA BHANU\n\n                For Respondent  : No Appearance\n\nThe Hon'ble MR. Justice M.N.KRISHNAN\n\n Dated :11\/08\/2009\n\n O R D E R\n                     M.N. KRISHNAN, J.\n                     ---------------------------\n                     CRL.A.NO.1134 OF 2004\n                    ------------------------------\n             Dated this the 11th day of August, 2009\n\n                            JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
     This is an appeal preferred against the order of acquittal<\/p>\n
passed by the J.F.C.M-II, Thrissur           in C.C.No.1076\/2001.<\/p>\n
Though notice was served, the accused did not appear before<\/p>\n
this Court.\n<\/p>\n
     2. It is the case of the complainant that the accused had<\/p>\n
borrowed a sum of Rs.25,000\/= in June 2001 and had issued<\/p>\n
a cheque towards the discharge of the liability which when<\/p>\n
presented for    encashment     returned with     the endorsement<\/p>\n
account   closed.    Statutory notice      was issued   demanding<\/p>\n
payment of the      amount for which no          reply was   sent.<\/p>\n
Thereafter prosecution was launched.\n<\/p>\n
     3. The case of the defence appears to be that she had not<\/p>\n
borrowed any amount from the complainant but while she<\/p>\n
was ailing     from some kidney problem, her husband had<\/p>\n
borrowed a sum of Rs.4,000\/=           and    at that time  blank<\/p>\n
signed cheque leaves were handed over           towards   security<\/p>\n
                                : 2 :<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1134\/04<\/p>\n
and though the amount was             repaid, the cheque leaves<\/p>\n
were not returned and one of such cheque leaves         had been<\/p>\n
utilised  for  filing   the case.    The evidence  in this matter<\/p>\n
consists of   oral testimony of PW1 and DW1 and Exts.P1 to<\/p>\n
P5 had been marked.\n<\/p>\n
       4. PW1 is the complainant. He had deposed before the<\/p>\n
court that on 2.6.2001 the accused had borrowed the amount<\/p>\n
and thereafter had issued Ext.P1 cheque.       The amount was<\/p>\n
not realised and hence the action.        It is submitted by him<\/p>\n
that he has       got   acquaintance     with the accused.    He<\/p>\n
emphatically    denied   the  financial  transaction between the<\/p>\n
husband    of the accused and      the  complainant.  A   specific<\/p>\n
question was put to him that the cheque was given as<\/p>\n
security in 1997 and that had been used for filing of this case.<\/p>\n
He had denied the same.\n<\/p>\n
        5. As far as prosecution under Section 138 of the N.I.<\/p>\n
Act is concerned, the burden of proving the transaction and<\/p>\n
issuance of the cheque always rests with the complainant and<\/p>\n
presumption arises when those things            are proved under<\/p>\n
Section   139 of the    N.I. Act.    So   far  as  the defence is<\/p>\n
                               : 3 :<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1134\/04<\/p>\n
concerned,    if the  defence is    able    to put up  a case of<\/p>\n
preponderance of probability, then the court may lean in<\/p>\n
favour of such probability. Admittedly, the cheque leaf belongs<\/p>\n
to the accused.    Ordinarily, cheque leaves are considered to<\/p>\n
be   very   valuable documents. Suppose a blank cheque leaf<\/p>\n
had been issued in 1997, one cannot understand           why a<\/p>\n
person has to wait till 2001       to initiate some action. The<\/p>\n
factum   that   the complainant and the accused      were living<\/p>\n
neighboruing places     and the factum       that she was ailing<\/p>\n
from some kidney problem and also the fact that she is not<\/p>\n
having very strong financial background would indicate that<\/p>\n
she was in need of money. In this background, we look into<\/p>\n
the evidence of PW1.       He had spoken about the date on<\/p>\n
which the amount was advanced.             He also speaks about<\/p>\n
the date on which the cheque was issued. It is also clear that<\/p>\n
he had sent a specific lawyer notice alleging these facts. If a<\/p>\n
person had not borrowed the amount and when one receives<\/p>\n
such a notice, an ordinarily prudent man requires at least a<\/p>\n
reply to send in such matters. I make it clear that I am<\/p>\n
not trying to pick holes in the case of the defence, but<\/p>\n
                                : 4 :<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1134\/04<\/p>\n
considering the matter for appreciating the evidence before<\/p>\n
the court.    Possession of the cheque leaves of the accused<\/p>\n
with the complainant and non reply to the notice coupled with<\/p>\n
the evidence of     PW1 make it      clear that   his evidence is<\/p>\n
acceptable so far it relates to the advancement of the amount<\/p>\n
as well as the issuance of the cheque.        When it is so, the<\/p>\n
burden shifts to the accused to rebut the presumption.          No<\/p>\n
worthy evidence is adduced to rebut that presumption except<\/p>\n
mere oral assertion by her husband.\n<\/p>\n
       6. So, I find that the court below has erred in holding<\/p>\n
that   the    complainant has not      succeeded in proving the<\/p>\n
transaction. I find that the evidence of PW1 is acceptable to<\/p>\n
prove the transaction and that the cheque was issued towards<\/p>\n
the discharge of the liability and   therefore, all the ingredients<\/p>\n
necessary to constitute the offence under Section 138 is<\/p>\n
established. So the order of acquittal passed under Section<\/p>\n
256(1) of the Cr.P.C is set aside and the accused is found<\/p>\n
guilty under Section 138 of the N.I.Act.<\/p>\n
     7. Now turning to the question of sentence. The accused<\/p>\n
is   a lady     and   if she    is desirous   of    avoiding   the<\/p>\n
                               : 5 :<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1134\/04<\/p>\n
imprisonment, I give an opportunity by imposing the minimum<\/p>\n
that is imprisonment till the rising of the court and to pay a<\/p>\n
compensation of Rs.25,000\/= under Section 357(3) of the<\/p>\n
Cr.P.C with default sentence.\n<\/p>\n
      8. In the result, the criminal appeal is disposed of as<\/p>\n
follows:\n<\/p>\n
      1. The order of acquittal is set aside and the accused is<\/p>\n
found guilty under Section 138 of the N.I. Act.<\/p>\n
      2. The accused is sentenced to undergo imprisonment till<\/p>\n
the rising of the    court and      to pay a   compensation of<\/p>\n
Rs.25,000\/= under Section        357(3) of the Cr.P.C to the<\/p>\n
complainant and in default to undergo S.I for a period of two<\/p>\n
months.     The accused is directed to appear before the court<\/p>\n
below on 31.10.2009 to receive the sentence        and pay the<\/p>\n
compensation, failing with the trial court shall execute the<\/p>\n
sentence.\n<\/p>\n
