Krishna Janardhan Bhat v. Dattatraya G. Hegde (2008) - The Supreme Court clarified that Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act does not create a presumption of debt existence solely based on the issuance of a cheque. The burden of proof remains on the complainant to establish the existence of a legally recoverable debt or liability. The case emphasizes careful evaluation of evidence before concluding debt liability GOPALAKRISHNAPILLAI vs NIRMALA - Kerala, B.

Legal Principles from the Case - The decision elaborates that merely issuing a cheque does not automatically presume debt; the complainant must prove the debt's existence beyond the cheque. Courts have relied on this ruling to acquit accused where the debt was not sufficiently established, highlighting the importance of concrete evidence GOPALAKRISHNAPILLAI vs NIRMALA - Kerala, Anant Bondre VS Alfred David - Dishonour Of Cheque, R.

Ltd. VS Y. Vasant Rao Sole Proprietor of M/s. Sharada Steels & Bearings Co. - Madras.
