Dishonour of Cheque - acquittal of accused - rebuttal of presumption - The High court found that the evidence presented by the complainant was sufficient to establish the accused's liability. The discrepancies in the complainant's testimony did not undermine the documentary evidence. - The court cited legal precedent to support its conclusion that once the signature on the cheque is admitted, the burden shifts to the accused to rebut the presumption of a legally enforceable debt. - Consequently it is held that, the acquittal of the accused was deemed erroneous and against established legal principles.
