The Appellant/Complainant has filed the present Criminal Appeal before this Court as against the Judgment dated 16.07.2009 in STC No.1633 of 2008 passed by the Learned Judicial Magistrate No. I, Mayiladuthurai.

2. The Learned Judicial Magistrate No. I, Mayiladuthurai while passing the impugned Judgment in STC No.1633 of 2008 (filed by the Appellant/Complainant) at Paragraph No.17 had interalia observed the following:

...17....... It is well established that where the burden of an issue lies upon the accused, she is not required to discharge that burden by leading evidence to prove her case beyond a reasonable doubt. The evidences adduced by the parties before this court lead to one conclusion that the accused has been able to discharge her initial burden. The burden thereafter shifted to the complainant to prove his case. But, he failed to do so. Thus, the complainant has failed to prove his case beyond all reasonable doubts.

and resultantly found the Respondent/Accused not guilty under Section 138 r/w 142 of Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 and acquitted her.

3. Being dissatisfied with the Judgment dated 16.07.2009 in STC No. 1633 of 2009 passed by the Learned Judicial Magis
