Cheque bounce case -- Rebuttal of Presumption – Trial Court proceeded to pass the order of acquittal on the mere ground of 'creation of doubt' -- Trial Court appears to have proceeded on a misplaced assumption that by mere denial or mere creation of doubt, the appellant had successfully rebutted the presumption as envisaged by Section 139 of the NI Act -- In the scheme of the NI Act, mere creation of doubt is not sufficient.
