Dishonor of Cheque - acquittal of the accused - The title “M/s” used in the complaint, affidavit-in-evidence, agreement dated 04.09.2010 and in the statutory notice, before the words “Zenith Constructions”, may also lead to an inference, that it was actually a partnership firm. In such circumstances, if it was not actually a partnership, but an individual proprietary concern, the burden to prove the same lay squarely on the complainant. On the other hand, the claim of the complainant that he was the sole proprietor of Zenith Constructions was also not denied by the accused. In view of this, it would only be appropriate to remit the matter to the Trial Court to clearly reach a definite finding whether the complainant is the sole proprietor of Zenith Constructions or not. - HC
