Yadi complainant ne yah mana hai ki vaha apne khate maintain karta hai or phir bhi adalat mein pesh nahi karta hai to uske khilaf adverse inference draw kiya jaa sakta hai. Dhara 114 Evidence Act ke tahat.

aapke prashan ka ootar hai ki aapko mangna chahiye. jaisa ki aapne btaya ki 405 ke hisab ka koi jikar nahi hai aur bhi kafi gadbad mil sakti hain so aapko manana chahiye aur agar nahi lata to nishchit hi iska labh parivadi ko milega.

138 ke case mein, jimmedari accused ke upar hai. dukandar koi books and accounts pesh na karega to bhi, accused ko koi benefit nahi milega.

Mr. N. Ramesh,
Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 raises a presumption only to the effect that the cheque was issued in discharge of liability but there is no presumption with regard to existence of liability. So, the burden to prove existence of a debt or legally enforceable liability still rests on the complainant.

The burden of legaly enforceable existing libility is on complainant.If complainanat is not ready to produce original extracts of khata,photo copy of extracts will not go evidence. It is duty of complainant to produce not only kha extracts he must file all other relevant documents of day to day chalans because coplainant is not banking/financial institution.At present situation accused should not ask to produce those ledger or any documents accuse can rebut presumption on conduct of complainant.If the cheque amount is more than actuals accused have good case.

NI ACT CASES OF PRIVATE FINANCIERS GOT STRUCK DOWN BY THE COURTS BECAUSE THE MOSTLY EMPTY BLANK SIGNED CHQS WERE FILLED AND DISHONOURED AND FILLING CASE.
THEY CONNOT PROVE ANY RELEVANT VOUCHER/BANK DRAWAL OR CHQ PAYMENT TO ACCUSED AT THE DATE WHAT THEY MENTIONED IN COMPLAINT.
THIS IS THE BIG PROBLEM IN POSTDATED CHQS IN NI ACT CASES.
