Decided on: Jul-16-2004

Reported in: 2004(2)ALD(Cri)455; 2004CriLJ4107

ORDERC.V. Ramulu, J.1. The only point that is urged by the learned counsel for the appellant was that the lower Court erred in coming to the conclusion that Ex.P1 cheque was not issued for the discharge of legally enforceable debt, since the complainant appellant failed to discharge his initial burden by establishing that Ex.P1 was issued for discharge of a legally enforceable debt or liability and as such, the presumption under Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act (for short 'the Act') cannot be drawn.2. The parties are hereinafter referred to as arrayed by the trial Court. Though the complaint filed by the complainant was dismissed on several grounds, the said point alone was urged by the learned counsel for the appellant in this appeal. The trial Court in view of the reported decisions of this Court in B. Mohan Krishna v. Union of India, 1996 Cri LJ 636 and C.B. Lingam v. Vitta Murali Krishna Murthy, (1997) 2 Andh LT (Crl) 100, held that the initial burden is on the accused...
