                         JUDGMENT

This complaint is filed by the complainant i.e.,

Basavasri Credit Co-Operative Society Ltd., against the

accused for the offence punishable U/s.138 of Negotiable

Instruments Act.

2. The brief facts of complainant case is that, one K.V.

Umesh and Smt. Mamatha are the members at the
3
CC No.550/2025

complainant’s society and they had availed loan of

Rs.1,00,000/- each from the complainant on 26-06-2015 and

for both the parties the accused stood as surety to the said

loans. The said K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S.

defaulted in paying the loan amount with an outstanding

amount of Rs.52,641/- and Rs.1,06,268/- respectively. The

complainant made several requests and demanded them

through demand notice, messages, phone calls and personal

visits. However K.V. Umesh, Smt. Mamatha V.S. nor the

accused paid the said outstanding amount to the

complainant and started postponing the repayment of loan

on one or the other pretest for the reasons best known to

them. After persistent demand made by the complainant

to the said K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S., they both

had not responded to the said demand made by the

complainant towards the repayment of the loan. Without

any alternate the complainant’s officials visited the accused
4
CC No.550/2025

house on 12-12-2024 and demanded the accused to clear

the said outstanding loan amount to the complainant. At

that time the accused agreed to clear the said outstanding

amount and issued a post dated cheque bearing No.467047

dated 13-12-2024 for a sum of Rs.1,58,910/- drawn on

Canara Bank, Bagalagunte Branch. Further it is stated

that when the complainant has presented the aforesaid

cheque for encashment through its banker i.e., Central

Bank of India, Widia Branch, it was dishonoured as

‘drawer’s signature differs from the specimen’ on 17-12-

2024. Further even though the complainant brought the

same fact to the knowledge of the accused through the legal

notice dated 23-12-2024 by RPAD and it has been refused

by the accused. Therefore the complainant aggrieved by

the acts of the accused filed this complaint for dishonour of

the cheque issued by the accused towards the discharge of

legally recoverable debt. As such is the case failure on the
5
CC No.550/2025

part of the accused to repay the cheque amount the

complainant has approached the court for the reliefs

claimed in the complaint.

3. After filing this complaint, this court took cognizance

of the offence and registered the criminal case against the

accused and summons was issued to him. In response to

summons, he appeared before the court through his counsel

and he was enlarged on bail. Thereafter plea was recorded

and accused pleaded not guilty.

4. The complainant has represented by its Manager, the

complainant by name Santhosh and he has been examined

as PW1 and he has produced 11 documents as per Ex-P1 to

11. On the other hand the accused is examined as DW-1

and got marked 01 document as per Ex.D-1.
6

CC No.550/2025

5. On perusal of entire case file and evidence available

on record the following points would arise for my

consideration are:

          1) Whether the complainant           proves
          that, the accused       in due discharge of

legally recoverable debt or other liability
had issued the alleged cheque bearing
No.467047 dated 13-12-2024 for
Rs.1,58,910/- drawn on Canara Bank,
Bagalagunte Branch, Bengaluru?

2) Whether the complainant proves that,
on presentation of said cheque, same
was returned unpaid as “drawer’s
signature differs from the specimen” and
despite of giving legal notice, he failed to
pay the cheque amount, thereby he
committed an offence punishable under
section 138 of NI Act ?

3) What order?

7

CC No.550/2025

6. Heard on both sides and I have also perused the

entire materials available on record.

7. My findings on the above points are as under:

Point No.1 : In the Affirmative,

Point No.2 : In the Affirmative,

Point No.3 : As per the final order for the

following:-

REASONS
POINTS NO.1 and 2 :

Both points 1 and 2 are taken up together for common

discussion to avoid repetition of facts.

8. It is the case of the complainant that, one K.V. Umesh

and Smt. Mamatha V.S. are the members at the

complainant’s society and they had availed loan of

Rs.1,00,000/- each from the complainant on 26-06-2015 and

for both the parties the accused stood as surety to the said

loans. The said K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S.
8

CC No.550/2025

defaulted in paying the loan amount with an outstanding

amount of Rs.52,641/- and Rs.1,06,268/- respectively. The

complainant made several requests and demanded them

through demand notice, messages, phone calls and personal

visits. However K.V. Umesh, Smt. Mamatha V.S. nor the

accused paid the said outstanding amount to the

complainant and started postponing the repayment of loan

on one or the other pretest for the reasons best known to

them. After persistent demand made by the complainant to

the said K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S., they both

had not responded to the said demand made by the

complainant towards the repayment of the loan. Without

any alternate the complainant’s officials visited the accused

house on 12-12-2024 and demanded the accused to clear

the said outstanding loan amount to the complainant. At

that time the accused agreed to clear the said outstanding

amount and issued a post dated cheque bearing No.467047
9
CC No.550/2025

dated 13-12-2024 for a sum of Rs.1,58,910/- drawn on

Canara Bank, Bagalagunte Branch. Further it is stated

that when the complainant has presented the aforesaid

cheque for encashment through its banker i.e., Central

Bank of India, it was dishonoured as ‘drawer’s signature

differs from the specimen’ on 17-12-2024. Further even

though the complainant issued the legal notice on 23-12-

2024 by intimating the dishonour of the cheque to the

accused, the same has been refused by the accused.

Further even though the notice has been issued to the

accused, the accused not repaid the cheque amount.

Therefore, the accused having committed the offence

punishable U/s.138 of N.I. Act. Hence, the complainant has

come before the court with this complaint.

9. To prove the contentions of the complainant the

manager of the complainant by name Santhosh has been

examined as PW1. PW-1 has filed his examination-in-chief
10
CC No.550/2025

by way of affidavit which is replica of complaint averments.

Further PW-1 has produced alleged Ex-P2 cheque which

was issued by the accused towards discharge of loan

amount of Rs.1,58,910/-. On presentation of the said

cheque same has been returned as per the Ex.P-3 return

memo as “drawer’s signature differs from the specimen”.

Further as per Ex-P4 the complainant issued legal notice

on 23-12-2024 through RPAD to the accused, the same has

been returned unserved as “refused” it can be seen from

Ex.P-6.

10. Before going to the merits of this case first of all I

would like to glance over the law pertaining to the instant

case. Admittedly the present case filed under section 138 of

Negotiable Instruments Act to bring home guilt against the

accused, the complainant must prove the following

ingredients of Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act.
11

CC No.550/2025

i) That, there is a legally enforceable debt.

ii) That the cheque was drawn from
account of bank for discharge in
whole or in part of any debt or other
liability which presuppose a legally
enforceable debt;

iii) Cheque so issued had been
returned due to drawer’s signature
differs from the specimen.

11. In a proceeding under section 138 of NI Act, the first

and foremost ingredient is that, the alleged cheque must be

drawn on account maintained by the accused and signature

on alleged cheque belongs to him. But in this case the

accused admits that the cheque belongs to the accused, but

he denies the signature in the cheque.

12. Further in this case on perusal of Ex-P2 cheque and

bankers memo Ex-P3 it is clear that, on presentation of

said cheque it was returned as “drawer’s signature differs

from the specimen”.

12

CC No.550/2025

13. Further on perusal of the case file it is found that the

complainant has issued legal notice through RPAD as

required under section 138 (b) & (c) of NI Act to the

address of the accused and the same has been refused by

the accused.

14. Here since the accused has admitted the cheque

belongs to him and the cheque belongs to his bank account,

but he denies the signature in the cheque. As such

whatever the presumption contemplated U/s.139 of NI Act

is not drawn in this case as held by the Hon’ble Supreme

Court in Rangappa vs. Mohan reported in AIR 2010(11)

SCC 441.

15. It is true that, even though the cheque belongs to the

accused, but the accused in this case very seriously

disputes the signature stating that the signature is in the

cheque is not belongs to the accused. As such the initial
13
CC No.550/2025

burden of proving the case of the complainant is not

discharged. Even though the law grant the initial

presumption in favour of the complainant, but as the

accused has denied his signature in the cheque it is the

burden cost upon the complainant to prove his case by

producing the oral and documentary evidence so as to show

that there was legally enforceable debt stands against the

accused and for repayment of the same the accused has

issued the cheque.

16. In view of that the complainant Basavasri Credit Co-

Operative Society Ltd., is represented through its Manager

by name Santhosh. In order to prove the same the

complainant has produced the authorisation letter

authorising the P.W.1 to prosecute the case. The Ex.P-1

authorisation letter which is clearly established that the

present complainant is having an authority to represent

the instant case on behalf of the complainant society.
14

CC No.550/2025

Further to avail the presumption the complainant has

been examined himself as PW-1 and marked exhibits

Ex.P-1 to 11 i.e., Ex.P-1 is the authorisation letter, Ex.P-2

is the cheque, Ex.P-3 is the endorsement, Ex.P-4 is the

legal notice, Ex.P-5 is the postal receipt, Ex.P-6 is the

returned postal cover, Ex.P-7 is the loan application, Ex.P-8

is the On Demand Pro-note, Ex.P-9 is the loan application,

Ex.P-10 is the On Demand pro-note and Ex.P-11 is the

demand notice. Out of these documents to prove the

presumption in favour of the complainant on perusal of the

Ex.P-1 Authorisation letter for the PW-1 to prosecute the

case. Ex.P-2 is the cheque bearing No.467047 dated

13-12-2024. Ex.P-3 is the endorsement dated 17-12-2024 as

the same is issued as a return memo for ‘drawer’s signature

differs from the specimen’. Further as per the Ex.P-4 is the

legal notice by which the complainant has issued the legal

notice to the accused dated 23-12-2024 and the same has
15
CC No.550/2025

been refused by the accused. According to complainant the

K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. had obtained the loan

from the complainant bank and defaulted themselves from

repaying the loan amount i.e., Rs.52,641/- and Rs.1,06,268/-

in total Rs.1,58,910/-. But even though after repeated

demands by the complainant the K.V. Umesh and Smt.

Mamatha V.S. has not at all repaid the same, but finally

when the bank people went to the accused’s house

demanding the amount on 12-12-2024 at that time this

accused has agreed to clear the said outstanding amount,

had issued the cheque bearing No.467047 for the amount

of Rs.1,58,910/-. As such as per the contentions taken by

the complainant on perusal of the Ex.P-2 cheque it very

clearly appears that it belongs to the account of the accused

and when the same was presented for the encashment the

same has been dishonoured by the bank as per Ex.P-3 for

the reason ‘drawer’s signature differs from the specimen’.
16

CC No.550/2025

Further even though the complainant has issued notice to

the accused intimating dishonour of the cheque as per

Ex.P-4, but it was returned unserved as per Ex.P-6 and

also accused has not repaid the loan amount.

17. At this point of time it is very much necessary to

discuss with regards to the contentions and the defence

taken by the accused in the cross-examination as well as in

the chief-examination of the accused. On perusal of the

same it is found that in the chief-examination accused has

deposed and taken a contention that in the complainant

society the accused and his wife are members and his

wife’s name is Pushpalatha and his wife was also doing

financial transactions with the complainant society.

Further it is deposed that the wife of the accused has

obtained loan of Rs.50,000/- from the complainant bank on

31-10-2015 and it is very clearly depicts in the Ex.D-1 and

this accused stood as the surety for that loan. Further at
17
CC No.550/2025

the time of obtaining of the loan by his wife, this accused

has issued the empty cheque as the security for the loan

obtained by his wife and he has given the cheque in the

year 2015 and after fully repayment of the loan amount

this accused has not taken the cheque back. Further the

said cheque was not returned by the complainant even

after repeated request by the accused. Further the accused

deposed that he has not signed in the said cheque and not

written any contents in the cheque. Further he has

deposed that he knows K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S.

even they are doing financial transaction with the society

and this accused has given surety for the loan obtained by

the K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. and they have

also repaid the loan. Further deposed that the

complainant has filed false case against the accused

therefore prayed to dismiss the complaint.
18

CC No.550/2025

18. As already stated above it is the contention of the

complainant that K.V. Umesh and Mamatha V.S. has

obtained the loan of Rs.52,641/- and Rs.1,06,268/- in total

Rs.1,58,910/- was balance outstanding, but after repeated

request and phone calls the K.V. Umesh and Smt.

Mamatha V.S. have not at all responded to the

complainant, as such finally when the complainant has

approached the accused’s house as he is the surety for the

loan of the K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S., at that

time the accused has issued the cheque agreeing to repay

the loan amount.

19. But on the other hand the contentions taken by the

accused that this accused has not at all issued the cheque

to the complainant as contended by the complainant that,

the cheque was issued for the repayment of the loan

amount of K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. But it is

contended by the accused that the cheque was empty
19
CC No.550/2025

cheque was issued by the accused at the time of obtaining

of loan of Rs.50,000/- by his wife from the complainant

society. At that time the accused issued the Ex.P-2 cheque

without signing and without filling the same. Further it is

also appears that the accused has taken the contention that

whatever the loan obtained by the wife of the accused is

already paid by the wife of the accused. But the

complainant has not returned the cheque even though the

loan has been closed. Further in support of the contentions

taken by the accused, the accused has got marked Ex.D-1

and deposed that the account has been closed that the loan

has been repaid completely.

20. Here in support of the contentions of the

complainant, the complainant got marked Ex.P-1 to

Ex.P-11. Further in support of the accused, the accused has

got marked Ex.D-1. On perusal of the Ex.P-1 to Ex.P-11

cheque was belonging to the accused and on presentation of
20
CC No.550/2025

the same it was dishonoured by the bank for “drawer’s

signature differs from the specimen”. Further on issuance

of the notice to the accused, the same was not received by

the accused, but was refused by the accused. Further in

this case it is very clearly appears that on perusal of the

Ex.P-7 it is the loan application in the name of Mamatha

Ex.P-8 is the On Demand pro-note executed by the

Mamatha and for that two persons are sureties by name

K.V. Umesh and M.G. Rudresh. Further on perusal of

Ex.P-9 i.e., loan application in the name of the Umesh.

Further on perusal of Ex.P-10 On Demand Pro-note it very

clearly appears that the borrower is the Umesh and the

sureties are Mamatha and M.G. Rudresh. Here on perusal

of the exhibits it is very clearly appears that there was loan

obtained by the K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. from

the complainant Bank and one person by name Rudresh

stood as surety for their loan. Further the same is also
21
CC No.550/2025

admitted by the accused that he has stood as the surety to

the loan of the K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S.

21. Here with regard to the contentions taken by the

accused that he has issued the empty cheque for the loan

obtained by his wife i.e., amount of Rs.50,000/-. In support

of the same he has produced the Ex.D-1 i.e., Pass book

issued by the complainant bank in favour of the accused’s

wife. On perusal of the same it very clearly shows that

balance due on 02-12-2015 was Rs.50,000/- and it was

completely repaid on 16-03-2020 and account closed on

16-03-2020.

22. On perusal of this contentions of both the parties it is

true that K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. has also

obtained the loan from the complainant, but there is no

document to show that K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S.

has completely repaid the loan amount. Further it is also
22
CC No.550/2025

true that the wife of the accused by name Pushpalatha has

also obtained loan of Rs.50,000/- and repaid the same on

16-03-2020. Here it is also very clear that the loan of the

K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. are not repaid and it

is not proved by the accused that, that loan has been fully

repaid. Here it has to be seen that if really as contended

by the accused that the blank cheque without signature

and without writing anything in the cheque has been

issued by the accused as a security to the loan obtained by

the wife of the accused Smt. Pushpalatha definitely after

16-03-2020 the accused should have obtained back the

cheque which is given for security purpose. But in this case

even though the accused contended that after his repeated

demands the complainant has not returned the cheque of

the accused. Here in the cross-examination it is also very

clearly admitted by the accused that he has not lodged any

complaint before the police and also he has not issued any
23
CC No.550/2025

legal notice to the complainant seeking for return of the

cheque and also he has not sought for the return of the

same through the court of law by filing complaint and also

he has not sought for the return of the same through his

wife. Further in this case it is also contended by the

accused that the complainant has misappropriated the

cheque. As such is the case if the same has been done by

the complainant definitely a prudent man of a common

conscience will definitely will take any legal action. But in

this case accused has not taken any legal action against the

complainant as such doubt arises in the contentions taken

by the accused.

23. Further with regard to the defence of the accused with

regard to the notice has not been served to the accused is

concerned with this regard the accused admitted in his

cross-examination that he is residing from 1998 in No.12A,

Bagalagunte Defence colony, Nagasandra Post and on
24
CC No.550/2025

23-12-2024 also he was residing in the same address till

now and any letter correspondence to this address will

reach the accused and summons from the court has also

served to this address. With this regard I have perused

the causetitle of the complaint in that same address has

been mentioned with regard to the accused address and

further I have perused the Ex.P-4 i.e., legal notice in that

also the address of the accused is maintained as same. As

such as per the Sec.27 of the General Clauses Act it is very

clear that notice issued to the correct address of the

accused is presumed to be served to the accused. As such

in this case even though the notice has been refused by the

accused in the eyes of law the refusal of any notice which is

sent to the correct address of the accused the same

considered as ‘due service’.

24. Further in this case another defence taken by the

accused that the signature in the cheque is not belonging to
25
CC No.550/2025

the accused. When the accused disputes his signature and

disputes by stating that his signature has been forged and

his cheque has been misappropriated, at that time it is

bounden duty of the accused to take a legal action against

such act. Further if really the accused disputes his

signature it is the burden cost upon the accused to prove

that the signature is not belonging to the accused, but is

forged for that he should have sought for forensic

examination of the signature and he has to prove that the

signature is not belongs to him. But in this even though

accused has cross-examined the PW-1 and he has examined

himself as DW-1 and in his cross-examination he also

admits that in the loan application of K.V. Umesh and Smt.

Mamatha V.S. and his wife he has singed as surety in

Kannada whereas in the Board meeting and in the

membership application he admits that both in Kannada

and English both languages he signs. As such when the
26
CC No.550/2025

accused has got two forms of signature i.e., Kannada and

English when it is disputed by him he should have sought

for forensic examination of the same by referring the same

to handwriting expert, but in this case the accused has not

at all sought for such relief.

25. Therefore upon perusing the above discussions made

by this court it is very clear that the accused has failed to

prove that the alleged cheque has been issued by the

accused at the time of obtaining loan in the name of his

wife as a security, but on the other hand it is the

complainant who has successfully proved its case along

with the documents that the K.V. Umesh and Smt.

Mamatha V.S. has obtained loan from the complainant and

this accused Rudresh has stood as surety and signed in the

loan application and pro-note. Further when the

K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. has not repaid the

amount and not responded to the complainant, the
27
CC No.550/2025

complainant has approached the surety for repayment of

the loan. At that time this accused being the surety has

issued the cheque for the repayment of the loan amount

obtained by the K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S. As

such it is very clear that Ex.P-2 cheque has been issued by

the accused for repayment of the legally recoverable debt

I.e., the loan which was borrowed by the K.V. Umesh and

Smt. Mamatha V.S.. and this accused being surety having

the equal liability as of the principal borrower of the loan

has issued the cheque for repayment of the same as such in

my considered opinion whatever the case of the

complainant has been successfully proved by the

complainant with oral and documentary evidence. On the

other hand the accused utterly failed to rebut the

presumption and also disprove the case of the complainant

by cogent and relevant oral and documentary evidence. As
28
CC No.550/2025

such in my considered opinion the accused has committed

an offence.

26. Therefore, it can be said that the complainant has

successfully proved that the K.V. Umesh and Smt.

Mamatha V.S. was due the amount as mentioned in the

cheque and it is legally recoverable debt. Further the

accused has issued cheque undertaking to repay that

legally recoverable debt. Contrary to that, in order to

prove the defence of the accused, he has not produced

sufficient materials before the court. Further as such on the

failure of the accused to prove the same, it is presumed

that the cheque was issued for the legally recoverable debt.

Further on the other hand it is also clear that the accused

has not proved that the entire repayment was made by the

K.V. Umesh and Smt. Mamatha V.S., as such it cannot be

said that the accused has repaid entire loan amount and
29
CC No.550/2025

they were not due the amount as mentioned in the alleged

cheque.

27. Therefore, looking into these all documents and facts

and circumstances, I am of the considerable opinion that,

the complainant has successfully proved that, the accused

had issued alleged cheque for repayment of due loan

amount and it is a legally recoverable debt.

28. However, in the case on hand, the accused has failed

to rebut the evidence of PW1. As such I am of the opinion

that, the accused has issued Ex.P2 cheque for discharge of

legally recoverable debt. Therefore the presumption has to

be raised in favour of the complainant as contemplated

under section 139 of N.I. Act.

29. Therefore the materials placed by the complainant

corroborates with each other with respect to the

involvement of legally recoverable debt. So these all
30
CC No.550/2025

documents are clearly established that, the alleged cheque

amount is legally recoverable debt. So in the absence of

disproof of complainant case, I have no hesitation to believe

the case of the complainant i.e., it has proved their case as

per the standard of proof by producing relevant and cogent

evidence. Even the entire materials indicates to the court

that, complainant has filed the complaint in a proper

manner i.e., within the stipulated time under section 138 of

Negotiable Instruments Act and further there is no

endeavors on behalf of the accused to disprove the case of

the complainant by producing relevant and cogent evidence.

Accordingly I am of the considered opinion that the accused

is liable to be convicted for the offence punishable under

section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act and I answered

these points No.1 and 2 in the affirmative.
31

CC No.550/2025

POINT No.3

30. In view of the findings on points No.1 and 2 to

compensate the holder in due course the accused who has

issued cheque without having sufficient funds in his

account has to be punished suitably. Therefore considering

the facts and circumstances, the accused is liable to pay the

above amount with the reasonable interest as stated as

compensation and expenses to complainant. Hence, I

proceed to pass the following:-

ORDER
