The accused got himself examined as DW1 and got marked documents from exhibits D1, D1(a), D1(b) and D2. The trial court, after hearing arguments from both side and considering the materials on record, by its impugned judgment of conviction and order on sentence dated July 13, 2009 convicted the accused for the offence punishable under section 138 of the N.

Further, at the request of the complainant, the accused had also paid in total, a sum of ₹ 1,00,000 to one Sri Ramesh Kumar. Thus, if at all any amount is due from the accused towards the complainant the same is only a sum of ₹ 1,03,596 after deducting ₹ 2,95,019 (i. e., ₹ 1,95,019 plus ₹ 1,00,000) from the cheque amount as per exhibit P1 which is ₹ 3,98,615.

Towards the payment of the same, the accused has issued the cheque for the said amount which is dated December 4, 2006, as per exhibit P1. Whereas, the alleged liability from the complainant towards the accused has arisen at a later date, i. e., on December 26, 2006 as could be seen in the invoice at exhibit D2.
