There is no representation for the revisionist. Mr. B.N. Molakhi, Deputy Advocate General for the State of Uttarakhand/ respondent no.1. 2. This Criminal Revision has been filed challenging the judgment & order dated 19.03.2020 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kotdwar, District Pauri Garhwal in Criminal Appeal No.23 of 2020. Revisionist has also challenged the order dated 17.06.2019 passed by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kotdwar, District Pauri Garhwal in Criminal Case No.1178 of 2017. 3. Earlier a complaint was lodged against the applicant by the respondent no.2 under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instrument Act. Thereafter, matter was investigated and learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kotdwar, District Pauri Garhwal vide order dated 17.06.2019 convicted the revisionist under Section 138 of N.I. Act and directed him to undergo six months rigorous imprisonment with fine of ₹4,10,000/- and, in default of payment of fine, he was sentenced to undergo one month’s additional simple imprisonment. Against the said order, revisionist filed Criminal Appeal. Though, the said Criminal Appeal has been partly allowed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kotdwar, District Pauri Garhwal and the 2025:UHC:8108 order of conviction and sentence passed by learned A.C.J.M. is confirmed, but the fine amount was reduced to ₹2,90,800/-. 4. After hearing the leaned counsel for the parties and after perusing the record, it is established by documentary evidence that the revisionist has paid the consideration of sale deed by the cheques, which were dishonoured, thus, the ingredients of Section 138 of N.I. Act are fully made out against the revisionist. This Court does not find any infirmity in the impugned judgment & order dated 19.03.2020 passed in Criminal Appeal No.23 of 2020, therefore, the Criminal Revision is dismissed.
