P.Ramachandran v. a.Rajendiran
Case brief
What is this about?
Madras HC (Crl.A.No.206 of 2014, 11.08.2025, Justice D.Bharatha Chakravarthy) dismisses appeal under S.378(4) CrPC against acquittal in a S.138 NI Act 1881 case (acquittal dated 25.09.2013 in C.C.No.129 of 2008, District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Tittagudi; accused A.Rajendiran; complainant/appellant P.Ramachandran; counsel M/s.P.P.Shanmugasundaram for appellant). Trial court's acquittal held not an impossible or perverse view: Rs.1,60,000/- cheque dated 29.09.2008 allegedly issued and presented on the same day as borrowal deemed highly improbable; accused's insurance-premium-misuse version accepted. Statutes cited: S.378(4) CrPC; S.138 NI Act 1881. No precedents cited.
What did the court decide?
The finding arrived at by the trial Court cannot be said to be an impossible view or a perverse view; therefore the appeal against acquittal must fail and is dismissed.
