Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the High Court correctly denied the appellant's request for concurrent sentencing under Section 427 read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in cases involving dishonored cheques under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, affirming that the sentences were not excessive and did not warrant a direction for concurrent running. The appeal was dismissed, maintaining the original sentences imposed by the lower courts.
