Respondent
N Gowtham Senthil Varman, aged about 40 years son of K S Nallathambi, power of
attorney and legal heir of since deceased K S Nallathambi, the original complainant of
the case, residing at 2/8, Ganapathi Nagar, Erode -11
The address for service for the respondent is same as above.

The Appellant begs to submit that he was tried along with the 1 st accused of the
case for the offence u/s 138 r/w 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act, based on a private
complaint in STC No 431/2019 filed by the respondent before the Fast Track Judicial
Magistrate No I, Erode. The learned Fast Track Judicial Magistrate No I, Erode has in
his judgment dt 10.10.2023 acquitted the 1 st accused and convicted the appellant and
sentenced him to undergo a simple imprisonment of 3 months and to pay the cheque
amount of Rs.5,00,000/-as compensation to the complainant u/s 357(3) of Cr P C
within 3 months of the order and to undergo a further simple imprisonment of 1 month
in case of failure to pay the above mentioned amount. A Non Bailable Warrant was
issued on 10.10.2023 against appellant for non appearance on the date of Judgement.

Grounds of Appeal

1. The judgment of lower Court is against law and weight of evidence.

2. The lower Court has erred in convicting the appellant u/s 138 r/w 142 of
Negotiable Instrument Act.

3. The lower court has failed to consider the main contention of the
appellant that the repayment on the full amount claimed by the
complainant has been partly done and there is no legally enforceable
debt for the full amount of the cheque.

4. The lower court has failed to consider the fact that the PW1/ POA holder
himself has accepted that repayments to the tune of Rs 3,58,000/- has
been received in the account of the complainant. Hence there arises no
need to provide documentary evidence in support of the claim as the
same is accepted by the complainant.
5. The lower court has also failed to consider the fact that the PW1/POA
holder has admitted that a civil case is also instituted with regard to the
same subject loan causing double jeopardy to the appellant.

6. The lower court has failed to consider the fact that the PW1 contradicts
his own complaint by stating that the loan was given for 12% interest
whereas the complaint and other documents state the interest to be 18%.

7. Having raised reasonable doubts on quantum of the enforceable debt, the


complainant has not proven beyond doubt the amount due to him.

8. For the grounds mentioned above and for other grounds which will be
argued at the time of enquiry, the appeal has to be allowed.

9. Therefore, the appellant humbly prays that this Honourable Court may
be pleased to allow the appeal and set aside the judgment and conviction
dt 10.10.2023 passed in STC No 431/2019 in the file of Fast Track
Judicial Magistrate No I, Erode and acquit the appellant and render
justice.
