B.V.Vidhyashankar vs B.Mahaveer Kumar

The Supreme Court addressed a case under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, where the appellant's cheque was dishonoured. The Trial Court's conviction was upheld by the revisional court and the High Court. However, considering the unique circumstances, the Court set aside the conviction on the condition that the respondent-complainant receives Rs.1,90,000/- from the deposited amount, with the remaining Rs.10,000/- appropriated by the State. The Court emphasized that this decision is based on specific facts and should not be treated as a precedent.
