Cheque Bounce Judgement

Judgement:

Anil Sachar v. Shree Nath Spinners Private Limited, 2012 (1) SCC (Cri) 799: 2011 (13) SCC 148: 2011 (3) Bank Cas 508: 2011 (8) JT 586: 2011 (3) Crimes 142: AIR 2011 SC 2751 :2011 Cri LJ 4611.

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881- Section 139-Legal Liability of drawer of cheque-Presumtion under Section 139 has not been rebutted, trial Court Wrongly acquitted accused-Viewed that there was no consideration for which cheques were given to complainant-Court confirmed incorrect view, order set aside.

વટાઉખત અધિનિયમ 1881- કલમ 139- ચેક કાઢી આપનારની કાનુની જવાબદારી- કલમ 139 હેઠળના અનુમાનને ખોટું ઠરાવાયું નથી-ટ્રાયલ કોર્ટે આરોપીને ખોટી રીતે છોડી મુકયો-એવો મત કે ફરિયાદીને ચેકો અપાયા જે માટે કોઇ અવેજ ન હતો-અદાલતે ખોટા અભિપ્રાયને કે મતને કાયમ કર્યો-આદેશ રદ કરવામાં આવ્યો.

Anil Sachar v. Shree Nath Spinners Private Limited, 2012 (1) SCC (Cri) 799: 2011 (13) SCC 148: 2011 (3) Bank Cas 508: 2011 (8) JT 586: 2011 (3) Crimes 142: AIR 2011 SC 2751 :2011 Cri LJ 4611.

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881-Section 139-Liability or “debt”- Ex-pressions “give” ruising of doubt, liability under Section 138 cannot be avoided if cheque returns unpaid-High Court get carried away by issue of guarantee and guarantor’s liablity has overlooked true intent of section 138.

વટાઉખત અધિનિયમ 1881-કલમ 139- “જવાબદારી” અથવા “દેવું”- શબ્દપ્રયોગ શંકા પેદા કરે છે જો ચેક સ્વીકારાયા વિના પરત ફરે તો કલમ ૧૩૮ હેઠળ જવાબદારી ટાળી શકાશે નહિ-ગેંરટી આપવાથી હાઇકોર્ટ સંતોષાઇ ગઇ અને ખાત્રી આપનારની જવાબદારીને ધ્યાનમાં લીધી નથી-કલમ 138 નો ખરો ઇરાદો ધ્યાનમાં લીધો નથી.

Anil Sachar v. Shree Nath Spinners Private Limited, 2012 (1) SCC (Cri) 799: 2011 (13) SCC 148: 2011 (3) Bank Cas 508: 2011 (8) JT 586: 2011 (3) Crimes 142: AIR 2011 SC 2751 :2011 Cri LJ 4611.

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881-Section 139- Legal liability of drawer-Limited company is a separate legal entity and its directors are different legal persons under Section 139 one can safely conclude that cheques signed had been given to company in discharge of debt or liability incurred by company.

વટાઉખત અધિનિયમ 1881-કલમ-139-ચેક કાઢી આપનારની કાનુની જવાબદારી-લિમિટેડ કંપની એ એક અલગ કાનુની વ્યકિતત્વ અને એના ડિરેકટરો કલમ 139 હેઠળ અલગ કાનુની વ્યકિતઓ છે- આથી એમ સલામત રીતે નિષ્કર્ષ કાઢી શકાય કે સહી કરેલો ચેક કંપનીને એના દેણા કે એણે સ્વીકારેલી જવાબદારી પ્રત્યે અપાયો હતો.

Anil Sachar v. Shree Nath Spinners Private Limited, 2012 (1) SCC (Cri) 799: 2011 (13) SCC 148: 2011 (3) Bank Cas 508: 2011 (8) JT 586: 2011 (3) Crimes 142: AIR 2011 SC 2751 :2011 Cri LJ 4611.

Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881- S. 139-The standard of proof in discharge of burden in terms of S. 139, being of preponderance of probability, the inference, therefore, can be drawn not only from the materials brought on record but also from the reference to circumstances upon which the accused relied upon-Burden of proof on the accused is not as high as that of the prosecution.

વટાઉખત અધિનિયમ 1881- કલમ 139- કલમ 139 ના શબ્દોમાં, બોજાની મુકિતમાં પુરાવાનું ધોરણ, શકયતાની પ્રબળતા હોવાથી રેકર્ડ પર લાવવામાં આવેલ સામગ્રી પરથી જ નહિ, પરંતુ જે સંજોગો પર આરોપીએ આધાર રાખ્યો તે સંજોગોના નિર્દેશ પરથી પણ અનુમાન કરી શકાય છે-આરોપી પર પુરવાનો બોજો ફરીયાદીના જેટલો વધારે નથી.
