The fine amount of Rs 16,00,000 imposed on shall be paid to complainant,” the order read

The complainant informed the court the accused failed to repay. The accused issued five cheques which were presented before the banks and all these cheques were returned unpaid as “funds not sufficient” .
The complainant later issued a legal notice to which Ameer did not respond. The court later took cognizance against the accused for commission of offences punishable under section 138 Negotiable Instruments (N.I)Act, which provides for criminal provision regarding a cheque bounced due to insufficiency of funds.
