One of my client gave Rs. 1.5 lacs cash to his friend as a loan in year 2006-07.No document regarding said loan was exrcuted between paries due to frindship.Thereafter lonee issued a cheque of Rs.1.5 lacs to my client.Said cheque was bounced.I filed a complaint on behlf of my client u/s 138 N.I. act. Now after concluding of evidence etc. case is fixed fir final arguments.I think that my client's case could be dismissed on account of non proving of giving of loan to accused.What are latest citations on this issue.Please do tell.
