Section 6, 138, 141 |
We are of the view that the operation of section 138 of the Act, 1881 cannot be obstructed or, in any way, circumvented by the mere fact of filing of a suit by the drawer of the dishonoured cheque in civil Court whatever allegations may be in the plaint about the same and the relief prayed for therein, because such a device shall totally make the section itself nugatory. However, if a holder or the payee gets hold of a dishonoured cheque by fraudulent means or forgery, the drawer of the cheque shall have the liberty to take such defence during the trial. Consequently we find no reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and order passed by the High Court Division. This petition is dismissed. …Arif-Uz-Zaman(Md.) =VS= The State, (Criminal), 2020 (1) [8 LM (AD) 614] ....View Full Judgment |

Section 141 (b) cannot take away the substantive right accruing to the
beneficiary of a cheque to prosecute any number of subsequent presentation
of the cheque on its dishonour. Similarly, each dishonour will give rise to
a concomitant right to serve notice under proviso (b) to section 138 (1) of
the Act and demand payment, failing which the bearer of the cheque will
have the right to make a complaint in writing in accordance with section
141 (a) of the Act–

Section 138 |
Where the amount promised shall depend on some other complementary facts or
fulfillment of another promise and if any cheque is issued on that basis,
but that promise is not fulfilled it will not create any obligation on the
part of the drawer of the cheque. As such dishonesty or fraud cannot be
attributed to the respondent in giving stop payment instructions– The
High Court Division being last court of facts upon elaborate consideration
of the evidence both the oral and documentary has come to the conclusion
that the complainant failed to take any step to sell the property of the
respondent, rather the respondent and his brother and sister sold the said
property to the U.S.A. Embassy and the complainant did not help the
respondent in any way in that regard.

An offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act is not compoundable, it being a special law. However, in view of the submissions made by the learned Advocates on Record, we are of the opinion that the ends of Justice will be sufficiently met if the sentence of the petitioner is reduced to imprisonment for the period already undergone by him in prison, and the sentence of fine is set aside. We note that the complainant appeared before us to say that he has received his money in full satisfaction. The criminal petition for leave to appeal is dismissed. The conviction of the petitioner under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments act is affirmed with modification of the sentence as mentioned above. .....Idris Chowkder (Md.) =VS= The State, (Criminal), 2017 (2)– [3 LM (AD) 560] ....View Full Judgment |

Section 138 |
The order of conviction passed by the trial Court was in accordance with the law as by adducing evidence the complainant succeeded in proving that a cheque for Tk.7,00,000.00 given to him was, when duly presented, dishonoured and that before filing the complaint petition, he complied with the procedural requirements laid down in section 138 of the Act. So, this leave petition is dismissed as it is bound to be. The petitioner has in fact paid all the money due to the complainant. The complainant admitted that he had received the full amount of the cheque from the accused petitioner and that he had no further claim against him. In view of the fact that the leave petitioner has paid the full amount of the cheque, he is exonerated from paying any more and as he has already spent 3 months in prison, he need not go back to prison and the sentence of imprisonment is thus modified to the period already undergone by him in prison. .....Biplob (Md.) =VS= The State, (Criminal), 2018 (1) [4 LM (AD) 364] ....View Full Judgment |
