Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in reversing the acquittal of the appellant under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The trial court found significant defects in the complainant's case, including inconsistencies in testimony and lack of evidence regarding the loan's source. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's judgment of acquittal, emphasizing the burden of proof on the complainant to establish the case beyond reasonable doubt.
