Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, affirming that the relationship of creditor and debtor was established despite the appellant's claims. The Court found that the notice was duly served, and the appellant's defense regarding the issuance of cheques to a third party was unsubstantiated due to lack of evidence. The judgment of the High Court dismissing the revision application was confirmed, maintaining the lower courts' findings.
