Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Kerala High Court's order acquitting the respondent of charges under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, holding that the High Court misread the evidence and failed to properly assess the probative value of the documents presented. The Court emphasized the need for a fresh examination of the matter, particularly regarding the liability amount and the evidence provided by the complainant. The appeal was allowed, remitting the case back to the High Court for reconsideration.
