As per case facts, the Petitioner, an Ex-Director of a company, was convicted for a dishonoured cheque issued to Axis Bank, after the company, which had availed a credit facility, ... failed to repay a large outstanding amount. The Petitioner argued the cheque was for a processing fee and not a loan liability, and that the company was already undergoing liquidation. The trial court convicted the Petitioner, and the appellate court modified the sentence, leading to this revision. The question arose whether the conviction under the Negotiable Instruments Act should be set aside, especially considering the full payment of the cheque amount during the revision proceedings. Finally, the High Court, observing that the entire cheque amount had been paid, used its inherent jurisdiction to set aside the conviction and sentence, thereby acquitting the Petitioner from the charges.
