JUSTICE H.P.SANDESH ORAL ORDER This matter is listed for admission. 2. Heard the counsel appearing for the revision petitioner. 3. The factual matrix of the case of complainant before the trial Court that complainant is the Private Limited Company involved in the business of exporting, distributor and supplier of electrical products and electronic products. Accused company used to place order for purchase of ABB, switchgear, ACB, MCCB, Contactor, MPCB, MCB, OLR and accessories from the complainant company. Based on the purchase order, the complainant has supplied the materials by raising invoice for the respective products and items of the accused. As per the purchase condition, the accused required to pay invoice amount within 45 days because considering the business relationship, the complainant company had allowed 45 - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010352062025 NC: 2026:KHC:39192 CRL.RP No. 829 of 2025 days for credit time. However, even after 45 days, the accused failed to clear the outstanding amount. Thereafter, the complainant company being an authorized person have requested the accused to clear the outstanding amount. The same has been postponed by the accused. After repeated requests and meetings, the accused company persons have issued two cheques for sum of Rs.10,00,000/- each total amount of Rs.20,00,000/. At the time of issuance of cheque, the accused assured honouring of those cheques. When the cheques were presented, returned with an endorsement ‘funds insufficient’. When the complainant representative have informed the same to the accused about the dishonour of cheque, at that time accused has informed that represent the cheque including postdated cheque for sum of Rs.23,18,371/- and issued one letter stating that the said cheques were issued under heavy pressure and insistence. The complainant issued reply to the said notice and denied the said allegations under letter dated - 5 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010352062025 NC: 2026:KHC:39192 CRL.RP No. 829 of 2025 20.09.2017. Thereafter as per the instructions of the accused, the complainant represented the cheque on 26.09.2017 but returned with an endorsement as ‘funds insufficient’ with the memo dated 27.09.2017. Hence, the complainant got issued the notice on 23.10.2017. The accused No.1 is company and the accused Nos.2 and 3 are the Directors of accused No.1. The said notice was served on 26.10.2017. In spite of the same, the accused did not comply with the demand and hence, the complainant was filed. The cognizance was taken and accused was secured. He did not pleaded guilty and claims the trial. 4. In order to prove his case, the complainant is examined as P.W.1 and got marked documents as Exs.P1 to P69 and also examined one witness as P.W.2 and on the other hand, the accused also examined himself as D.W.1 and got marked documents as Exhibit D1 to D6. The trial court having considered both oral and documentary evidence and also considering the admission - 6 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010352062025 NC: 2026:KHC:39192 CRL.RP No. 829 of 2025 on the part of D.W.1 that when he had raised the objection that material supplied was defective and categorically admitted that he has not issued notice to the complainant with respect to the defective materials allegedly supplied by the complainant’s company and the very defence that material was supplied is defective is not substantiated by the accused. The accused also categorically admitted the issuance of the cheque and his liability and outstanding towards the complainant under Exs.P2 and P3 i.e. with respect to the cheque as well as the amount covered under the said cheques. The trial Court taken note of the same in paragraph No.17 in detail discussed the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2 and also in terms of cheques at Exs.P2 and P3, due outstanding as per Ex.D2 produced by the accused himself is clear with regard to the liability is concerned and hence convicted and sentence the accused. The same is challenged before the appellate Court in Crl.A.No.947/2022 and the appellate Court also having considered the grounds urged in the - 7 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010352062025 NC: 2026:KHC:39192 CRL.RP No. 829 of 2025 appeal memo and also considering Exs.P1 to P69 which clearly discloses the transaction between the complainant and accused and also the admission on the part of D.W.1. with regard to issuance of cheque and confirmed the order of the trial Court. Being aggrieved by the judgments of both the Courts, the revision petitioner is before this Court in this revision. 5. Now the main contention of the counsel appearing for the revision petitioner before this Court is that both the Courts have committed an error in appreciating the evidence available on record. Both the Courts have erred in considering the document of legal notice at Ex.P8 which does not mention under whose instructions it was sent. The contention that security cheques could not be used. The suspicion over the transaction which was proved by D.W.1 and documents at Ex.D1 to D6 could have been considered. When the case of complainant is doubtful, the trial Court ought not to - 8 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010352062025 NC: 2026:KHC:39192 CRL.RP No. 829 of 2025 have convicted and sentence the accused and the appellate Court also ought not to have confirmed the same. 6. Having heard the counsel appearing for the revision petitioner and the grounds urged in the revision petition and also considering the evidence available on record i.e., evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2, D.W.1 categorically admits that in terms of Ex.D2, he categorically admitted the liability and outstanding towards the complainant and with respect to the cheques as per Exs.P2 and P3, the same are also admitted documents i.e. the accused has admitted the issuance of cheque. When the transaction was not denied and having purchased the material is not denied and the only defence was raised is that defective materials were supplied. But accused admits that he has not issued any notice making any complaint with regard to the defective materials which were supplied. All these materials were taken note of by the trial Court and also - 9 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010352062025 NC: 2026:KHC:39192 CRL.RP No. 829 of 2025 the admission on the part of the accused who has been examined as D.W.1. Hence, I do not find any ground that both the Courts have committed an error and the same suffers from its legality and correctness. The scope of revision is also very limited that too, only in case of miscarriage, this Court can entertain the revision petition and the same is not warranted with the case on hand. Hence, the revision petition is dismissed. Sd/- (H.P.SANDESH) JUDGE SSD List No.: 1 Sl No.: 34
