    Crl. Appeal No. 1772 of 2002
    Decided On, 05 August 2014

From the evidence brought on record, it is entirely clear that the blank cheque was handed over to the complainant as a security cheque as well as was not meant for enforcement of a debt. The objective of Section 138 of the Act is to avoid malignant trade practice of indiscriminately issuing cheques without sufficient funds. The facts as well as circumstances of the present case of this nature cannot be construed and brought within the gamut attracting the provisions of Section 138 of the Act. 
 In view of the foregoing discussion, while dismissing the present appeal, the Punjab and Haryana High Court upheld the findings recorded by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panipat vide his judgment dated 01/08/2001 in acquitting the accused.

Q: What is the significance of issuing account payee cheque?

Ans: While issuing the cheque, a drawer should draw two parallel lines on its left side and should write 'account only' in between them. By doing this, the cheque becomes an account payee cheque and the payment will be made only in the bank account of the payee. In case of any type of fraud, the payee can be traced. Having the above- mentioned precautions, a drawer can be avoided from fraud to a great extent.

Q: Elaborate the citation of Sasseriyil Joseph vs Devassia on 22 September, 2000 ?

For the reasons stated above, the Kerela High Court finds no reason to interfere with the order of acquittal passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge.  The Kerela High Court sees no infirmity in the judgment of the lower Court. This appeal is groundless and is liable to be dismissed.

Q: How would section 208, 209 and 210 of IPC be implemented in dishonour of cheque ?

Ans: A and B collude together and A issues the cheque for X Amount, which gets dishonored.  B files the complaint under S.138, and without proving the liability gets the benefit of presumption under S.139, now both A and B enact the drama of compounding under S.147 of NI Act, matter closed, but in principle A has violated IPC S.208 and S.210 and B has violated IPC S.209. So, if rightly B is asked to prove the entitlement to become the holder, before presumption can be granted to him, surely he would fail and lawfully both A and B can be prosecuted under IPC S.208, S.209 and S.210 if required.
