2021 (3) TMI 286 - DELHI HIGH COURTDishonor of Cheque - Rebuttal of presumption - petitioner submitted that the petitioner is willing to pay the amount, provided some more time is given to him and prayed that six months time be granted and he also stated that an undertaking in this regard will be filed by him within one week - HELD THAT:- The Supreme Court has time and again examined the scope of Section 397/401 of Cr.P.C and the ground for exercising the revisional jurisdiction by the High Courts. In State of Kerala v. Puttumana Illath Jathavedan Namboodiri, [1999 (2) TMI 676 - SUPREME COURT], the Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction in interfering with the conviction of the respondent by reappreciating the oral evidence. The High Court also committed further error in not examining several items of evidence relied upon by the Additional Sessions Judge, while confirming the conviction of the respondent. There is no perversity in the orders of the Courts below warranting interference by this Court under Section 397/401 Cr.P.C. This Court does not find any infirmity in the amount of compensation imposed on the petitioner. The petitioner has abused the indulgence granted by this Court. On 01.11.2019, the petitioner undertook to pay the amount of compensation in 4 instalments. He has gone back on the undertaking given to this Court which amounts to contempt. The petitioner is therefore not entitled to any indulgence from this Court. The revision petition is dismissed
