Dishonour of Cheque - Legally enforceable debt or not - The offence under Section-138 arises only when a cheque that represents a part or whole of the legally enforceable debt at the time of encashment is returned by the bank unpaid. Since the cheque did not represent the legally enforceable debt at the time of encashment, the offence under Section-138 is not made out. - HC
