Order below Exh.12
4. Heard Advocate Smt. Rupali Gond for the complainant and
advocate Smt. Maria Alphanso for the accused.
5. The accused has not disputed the liability to pay the alleged
outstanding amount of licence fee. Complainant has produced the
certified copy of Registered Leave and Licence Agreement on record to
establish the transaction out of which the legal liability towards the
accused arises. The accused has not disputed subject cheque Exh.15
towards repayment of outstanding licence fees. The complainant has
complied statutory demand notice under section 138(b) of the Act for
lodging present complaint. There is sufficient prima facie evidence on
record to hold that subject cheque was issued in discharge of legal
liability towards the accused. The trial will take its own time to finalize
the dispute. Therefore, this is the fit case wherein I deem fit to invoke
the powers conferred upon this court under section 143-A of the
Negotiable Instrument Act and granted interim compensation to the
owner of the lease property. Hence, I pass following order.
