Reported in: III(2007)BC630; 2007(1)KLJ245

ORDERR. Basant, J.1. The petitioner is the accused in a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The signature in the cheque is not disputed. Fairly specific contention appears to have been raised as early as in the reply to the notice of demand that the cheque was handed over as a blank signed cheque as security when the husband of the petitioner/accused availed a loan of Rs. 1.75 lacs from the complainant. It is the fairly specific contention of the petitioner/accused that the cheque was issued as a blank signed cheque as security for due repayment of the said amount of Rs. 1.75 lacs. It is the further specific contention that the other entries in the cheque were not made by the accused, but by the complainant. That cheque is being misutilised to stake a totally false and fanciful claim for Rs. 6.25 lakh, it was contended.2. Trial has commenced. The complainant's evidence is already over.
