Protest against depositing Cheque and Acquittal for Cheque Dishonour under S.138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881

Protest against depositing Cheque and Acquittal for Cheque Dishonour under S.138 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881

In case of Jayeshbhai Sejpal v. State of Maharashtra [2008] GCtR 6586 (Bombay), accused had protested before cheque was deposited raising the issue of defective supply by complainant. Acquittal of accused under S.138 of NI Act, 1881 was found valid. Upholding the acquittal, it is held that "it is well settled that if the view of acquittal could have been reasonably arrived at then the mere circumstance that the appellate Court would have taken a different view, would be no ground to interfere."
