अदालत ने स्पष्ट किया कि धारा 138 के तहत अभियोग में अभियोगकर्ता का प्रथम दायित्व है कि वह लेनदेन और चेक के निष्पादन को साबित करे (!) . इस मामले में, शाखा लेखाकार द्वारा प्रस्तुत साक्ष्य, जिसके पास सीधे लेनदेन या चेक के निष्पादन का ज्ञान नहीं था, उसे पर्याप्त नहीं माना गया ताकि वह इस दायित्व को पूरा कर सके (!) . अदालत ने कहा कि बिना सीधे ज्ञान के व्यक्ति का साक्ष्य लेनदेन और चेक के निष्पादन को प्रमाणित करने के लिए पर्याप्त नहीं हो सकता (!) . इस प्रकार, साक्ष्य की पर्याप्तता का आकलन करते समय यह देखा जाना चाहिए कि साक्ष्य देने वाला व्यक्ति लेनदेन का प्रत्यक्ष साक्षी हो या नहीं, क्योंकि इससे ही कानून के अनुसार लेनदेन और चेक के निष्पादन का प्रमाण स्थापित होता है (!) .
